Want this question answered?
power in watts = voltage in volts x current in amps. or power in watts = current in amps x (resistance in ohms) squared i think what you meant was power in watts =(current in amps)squared x resistance in ohms
ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)
You need to know the voltage and Power Factor in the equation Watts = Amps x Volts x Power Factor. Now Power Factor is equal to one for a resistance load and decreases for loads like motors. So for example if you are talking about a home portable electric heater that draws 15 Amps at 120 Volts your Watts would be 15 x 120 = 1800 watts or 1.8 kilowatts.
Watts = volts x amps x power factor Power Factor is 1 for resistive loads and decreases for other loads like motors. Maximum watts would be 12 x 220
Watts are used to measure electrical POWER. You can use the mnemonic CAROPWEV to remember this CA=CURRENT measured in AMPERES RO=RESISTANCE measured in OHMS PW=POWER in WATTS EV=ENERGY in VOLTS you can get power by multiplying the current by the voltage.

The power lost in a resistor is(the current through the resistor) times (the resistance) watts. That's the same thing as(the voltage across the resistor)/(the resistance)watts.
Use the formula: P=IR (power = current x resistance).
Amps = Watts / (Volts x Power Factor). The Power Factor is one for resistive loads and decreases for inductive loads like motors.
For a fixed resistance (ohms) current increases as voltage increases. Since Watts equals Volts x Amps x Power Factor then Watts would increase as voltage increases. The resistance would usually be fixed, but if you had a variable load resistance as the resistance decreased and the voltage remained constant, the current would increase and watts would therefore increase. Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor Volts = Amps x Ohms Power Factor is 1 for a resistive load.
The power dissipated across a resistor, or any device for that matter, is watts, or voltage times current. If you don't know one of voltage or current, you can calculate it from Ohm's law: voltage equals resistance times current. So; if you know voltage and current, power is voltage times current; if you know voltage and resistance, watts is voltage squared divided by resistance; and if you know current and resistance, watts is current squared times resistance.
All resistances will emit heat energy when a current flows. The heat production rate (or power) can be found by any of these formulas: Power = Current * Voltage Power = Current2 * Resistance Power = Voltage2 / Resistance. Power is given in Watts when Current is in Amps, Voltage in Volts, and Resistance in Ohms.
Watts is equal to volts x current x Power Factor. The maximum value of Power Factor is 1 for a resistive load. For motors and other inductive devices the Power Factor is less than 1. Your maximum wattage is 10,000 watts and decreases as Power Factor decreases.
The current [I] (measured in Amps) is equal to the power [P] (measured in Watts) divided by the voltage [V] (in Volts). I = P/V Amps = Watts / Volts Therefore, P*V=I Watts * Volts = Amps
.9 watts.
