Watts, volts and amps are units of measurement. Watt is the unit of measurement for power. 1 watt (W) = 1 joule (j) per second (s) (1 W = 1 j/s). Volt is the unit of measurement for voltage. 1 volt (V) = 1 joule per coulomb (c) (1 V = 1 j/c). Amp is the unit of measurement for current. 1 Amp (A) = 1 coulomb per second (1 A = 1 c/s).

What is a measure of the electric power of a appliance?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
The differene between amps and watts?
Amps are units of current, watts are units of power. Watts are the product of Amps times Volts. Watts = Amps x Volts.
Is a measure of the electric power an appliance uses?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
How any amps in 65 Watts 240 power supply?
Watts = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Volts, 65/240 = .27 amps or 270 milliamps
Which consumes more power 480 volts or 240 volts?
Volts isn't power. Volts times amps is power, also known as watts. Thus 480 volts at 2 amps consumes 960 watts, which is the same power usage of 240 volts at 4 amps or 120 volts at 8 Amps.
How do you convert watts into amperes?
To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.
How many watts does 20 amps at 240 volts produce?
The unit of power is expressed in watts, and the product of current (Amps) and voltage (volts) is power there fore if you multiply the amps and the volts give watts. so 20 x 240 will give you a 4800 watts of power.
How many watts of power are being used at 230 volts and 10 amps?
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor Maximum Power Factor is 1 for resistive load.
What is a measure of the electric power an appliance uses?
The watt is the unit of power. For electricity, watts = volts x amps.
HoW many amp is 300 watts?
As asked, the question cannot be answered. At 1 volt, 300 Watts = 300 Amps. At 10 volts, 300 Watts = 30 Amps. At 100 volts, 300 Watts = 3 Amps. At 120 volts, 300 Watts = 2.5 Amps. At 240 volts, 300 Watts = 1.25 Amps. To calculate the relationship between Amps, Volts and Watts, use the formula: Watts = Amps * volts
1 mega watt equals how many volts?
Watts, Volts and Amps are interdependent, but unique units of electricity. The formula is: Watts = Volts * Amps A megawatt is just 1,000,000 watts. At 1 volt that would be 1,000,000 amps At 1,000,000 volts that would be 1 amp.
How much is 2 watts?
There are no "watts" in 2.5 volts. Wattage is the result when you multiply volts times amps. You cannot answer the question with only one quantity (in this case 2.5 volts). If you have 1 amp and 2.5 volts, they you would have 2.5 watts. If you had 2 amps and 2.5 volts, they you would have 5 watts. The formula is Volts X Amps = Watts.
