Best Answer

2.3 amp

Another (correct) answer.Actually, Amps are a measure of current, and Volts are a measure of potential.

Amps * volts = Watts.

So if you aren't using any "watts", you don't have any Amps either.

As asked, the question makes no sense at all.

Amps is a measure of current flow, coulombs per second. Volts is a measure of charge pressure, joules per coulomb. You did not provide enough information to answer your question. You need to state how many ohms there are in the circuit. At that point, use Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms.
Volts and amperes are not scalars of each other. They are related though a number of rules, each involving another variable. Do a search for ohms law and read up on the physics of electricity.

Volts and Amps are two different units of measure of electrical flow. Volts measure EMF, which is electromotive force, and Amps, which is really Amperes, measure current.

Imagine your water pipes in your house. Volts would be the pressure or force behind the water...Amperes would be the amount of water that can be pushed through the pipes, and Ohms (resistance) is the amount that the pipes "hold up" the flow.

Volts are like pressure

Amperes are like quantity of flow (say, gallons per minute)

and Ohms are like the friction or slowing down caused by the wires

The question makes no sense. Volts are a unit of electric potential. Amperes are a unit of electric current.

How many amps is equal to 1 kilo volt amp?

A volt-amp or VA is equivalent to watts, provided the voltage and amperage are in phase. So 1 kilo volt amp is the same as 1 kilowatt. Wattage, or power, is equal to volts times amps. So the original question is effectively nonsense. The number of amps depends on the voltage. If the voltage is 1000 volts, then there's 1 amp in 1 kilo volt amp. If the voltage is 1 volt, then there's 1000 amps. If there's 50 volts, then the amperage is 20 amps. And so on.

How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?

It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.

How many amps are in 40 volt amps?

Multiply the vots by the amps to find the volt-amps. Or divide the volt-amps by the voltage to find the amps.

Watts= voltage times amps. So if you divide Watts by voltage, you will get amps = .33333 or about a 1/3 amp load. This is assuming a 120 volt circuit.
