Five. An amp (C/S) is a measure of Coulombs (C) per second (S). A coulomb is a quantity of electrons, so you can think of this as the # of electrons passing a point on a wire, like the flow of a river measured in gallons per second. A volt (J/C) is the amount of energy, measured in Joules (J), per Coulomb. Finally, a Watt (W = J/S) is the measure of energy (J) per second (S). That's why a higher wattage bulb is brighter and hotter... it's using more energy.
Therefore, Amps = W / V = (J/S) / (J/C) = (J/S) * (C/J) = C/S = 60/12 = 5

How many volts in 6VA?
There are zero volts in 6 VA. The VA stands for Volt Amps. VA for all intents and purposes is the same as watts. You need to state an amperage to find the voltage. Volts = Watts/Amps.
How many volts equal amps?
What you are asking is kinda like asking how many oranges in an apple.Voltage is the measure of electrical potential.Amperage is the measure of electrical flow quantity.A good illustration is a water pipe: you can have high pressure (volts) but unless the water is allowed to flow the quantity of water is zero. (amps)
How many watts does it take to run watersoftener?
Just take the voltage and multiply it by the amps. That should give you a close approximation of the watts used. For instance, 117 volts at 4.5 amps = 5265 watts.
How many volts are required to light an electric bulb?
Light bulbs, called lamps, are run on 110 to 120 volts AC when they plug into household wiring. Other lamps use 1.5 volts, 3 volts, 4.5 volts or 6 volts DC when they are running off batteries in flashlights. Car lamps use 12 volts (though the actual car voltage is a bit more). Lamps have ratings that are specified by the manufacturers, and they have a given voltage rating based on their design. There are quite a few different lamps that come in a variety of voltage ratings.
How many volts are required to push 3 amps through a resistance of 4 ohms?
Just use Ohm's Law: V=IR (voltage = current x resistance; using units: volts = amperes x ohms).
How many amps are required for 100W light bulb operate on 110 volts?
amps equals watts divided by volts.
How many amperes does a standard 60 watt light bulb use?
Watts = Volts X Amps. Amps=Watt / Volts. So, with a 240V mains, a 60W bulb draws 0.25amps. On a 12 system (car/auto) a 60W bulb draws 5 amps. On a 110V mains, a 60W bulb draws .55 Amps.
How many amps needed for a 600 watt floodlight?
Watts = Volts x Amps for an incandescant bulb. So Amps = 600/120.
How many amps does a 65 watt light bulb use?
Amps x volts = watts So, assuming you are running on 110 volt line, the answer is 65 watts/110 volts=.591 amps.
How many amps will a 60 watt bulb draw from 120 volts?
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. An incandescent light bulb is a resistive load so PF = 1. ANSWER: = 1/2 Amp
What is the formula for finding out how many amps is required to achieve the full 100 watt output from a 9 volt bulb?
The formula is volts times amps equals watts, or watts divided by volts equals amps.
How many amps does a 65 watt light bulb have at 120 volts?
The amps drawn by a 65 watt light bulb should be 65/120 or 0.54167. This fraction of an ampere may be restated as 541.67 milli-amps.
What is the curren in an ac circuit with 120 volts and a 60 watt light bulb?
You want to know how many amps in that circuit. To do so, divide the Watts by the Volts. in your case it would be 60 watts / 120 volts = 0.5 Amps.
How many amps are needed to run a light bulb?
If you divide the watts of the bulb by the supply voltage, that is the current. For example a 60 w bulb on a 240 v supply gives a current of 60/240 which is ¼ amp.
How many amps at 120 volts equals 16 amps at 12 volts?
160 amps at 12v.
How many amps at 12 volts equals 16 amps at 120 volts?
160 amps at 12v.
How many amps DC is 12 volts 1.5 amps at 5 volts?
You have your own answer. It is 1.5 amps.
