Electric current can be either direct or alternating. ... Current density can also be expressed in amperes.

Depending where you live will depending on what the voltage is and the carried amps.

In the U.S., a conventional 120 V outlet is rated for a maximum current of 15 A, and the upstream wiring and circuit breaker should be designed to tolerate that.

In the UK: The maximum current that can be drawn from a single UK socket is 13 amps (13A) and the maximum that can be drawn from all the sockets on a single ring-main together is 32A.

If 13.6 volts is how many amperge?

It depends on how many Amps (current) are applied to the voltage. Watt = Volts x Amps. e.g. 12 volts @ 5 amps = 60 watts


4 volts is a many watts?

4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.


How many amps is 1000 volts?

Volts and amps measure two different things. Volts are used to measure potential difference. Amperes (amps for short) are used to measure current. Compare it to a garden hosepipe: Voltage corresponds to the pressure of the water, current measures how fast the water flows. 2000 millivolts equals two volts. For comparison, a single AA cell gives 1.5 volts. 1000 amps is several times the current used by the average household. A regular AA cell can provide, at maximum, about half an amp.


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


How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?

The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.


How many watts is five volts?

It depends on the current in amps. The watts would be equal to 5 times the current, because watts equals amps times volts.


How many watts are in 30 volts?

There is no direct relationship between watts and volts. Watts = volts x current in amps.


How many things are needed to have current?

3 things Volts, ohms, and amps


How many amps in 70 watts?

To answer this you have to know how many volts will be used. If you know the voltage then you can calculate the current by dividing voltage into wattage. For example; an electric heater rated at 700 watts when plugged into a 115 v outlet will draw 700/115 = 6.08 amps of current.


How many amps in Mega Watt?

One Megawatt = 1,000,000 watts. Watts = Volts x Amps or voltage x current. Hence if you know the voltage then Amps = 1,000,000 watts / Volts.


How many watts is 7 amps at twelve volts?

"Power (/Watts) = Current (/amps) * Potential Difference (/volts)" Therefore, power = 7 * 12 = 84 W


How many volts in 2watts?

it would depend upon the current. Power (watts) = I (current in amps) x E (voltage). 2 watts = 15 amps x .133 volts 2 watts = 20 amps x .10 volt
