Best Answer

In a.c. circuits, the watt is used to measure the true power of a load, and is determined by multiplying the supply voltage by the load current by the power-factor of the load. The volt ampere is used to measure the apparent power of a load, and is determined by multiplying the supply voltage by the load current.

So the relationship between the watt and the volt ampere depends on the power factor of the load. For example a 100 VA load with a power factor of 0.8 (leading or lagging) will have a true power of 80 W.
