How do you power a 1500 watt AC appliance in a car?
You can buy an "inverter." It plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory plug or directly clips to the battery terminals and converts the 12 volt DC to AC. You can then plug your appliance into it. Be sure to get an inverter that is the right wattage capacity for your device.
In a 1992 Ford Club Wagon what is the watt size of the fuse that powers the car cigarette lighter?
10 amp will do and be safe.
What is watt volts?
Watt volts is not an electrical term. Watts are the product of amps times volts.
How many volts in a watt?
It depends on how many Amps (current) are applied to the voltage. Watt = Volts x Amps. e.g. 12 volts @ 5 amps = 60 watts
What is the difference between an amp and a watt?
The relationship is, a watt is the product of amps x volts.
What is the volt of a zero watt bulb?
120 volts.
What is a difference between vollage and watt?
Watts = Volts / Ohms Watts = Volts x Amps
How many volts are there in a watt?
A watt is defined as: W=1V*1A=1J/sec=1Nm/sec
How many volts equal one watt of power in one second?
Zero volts equal one watt. Watts is the product of amps times volts. Without an amperage the voltage can not be calculated. The time constant has nothing to do with the equation.
Is 230 volts or 110 volts more economical?
You buy power by the watt-hour. It has zero to do with the voltage!
What is the difference between a 60 W and a 100 W light bulb?
60 and 100 watt in series then the 60 watt will have the biggest voltagedrop.In parallel they are the same.Using a voltage of 120 volts, the 60 watt lamp would have 75 volts across it and the 100 watt lamp would have 45 volts across it in a series circuit, bringing the total to 120 volts.
Do a 12 volt 50 watt bulb and a 230 volt 50 watt bulb draw the same current?
A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 12 volts takes 4.17 amps. A 50 watt bulb designed to run on 230 volts takes 0.217 amps.
