Watts and horsepower are both units of power.


How many watts are in 1.25KW?

Watts are a function of volts times amps. A power factor is involved in motor loads, but we will discount that for now. You could have 1.25 amps flowing in a high voltage line representing a very large number of watts due to the high voltage, but lets assume we are speaking of a two wire, (hot and neutral) (the grounding wire would not be included in the calculation since it will carry no current in this example) 120volt circuit feeding say a small kitchen mixer. 120 volts times 1.25 amps = 150 watts If this were a residential 240 circuit, (2 hot wires) the watts would be double, (1.25 times 240=300 watts


How many watts does 3K electricy produce?

It depends entirely on the power factor of the load. If the power factor is unity (1), then the true power, in watts, will equal the apparent power in volt amperes. If the power factor is zero, then the true power, in watts, will be zero. This is because true power (watts) is equal to the apparent power (volt amperes) multiplied by the power factor.


Which one has more power 10 watts or 12.5 watts?

More Watts equals more power. So once you have decided which is bigger, 10 or 12.5, that is the one with more power.


Formula for watts and amps?

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

Amps used by 32 watt fluorescent light bulbs?

If it is a 120volt light, then it is watts / volts. 32 watts / 120 = .2667 amps. <<>> fluorescent lights usually have a power factor around 0.6 so a 32 watt bulb would take around 32/(120 x 0.6) amps or 0.44 amps.
