If an electric eel produces 500 volts of electricity how many watts is that... if you need amperes to get the answer how do you find that out?

WRONG
According to: "Electric Fish." Encyclopedia Americana.
the answer is: "The electric eel (Electrophorous electricus) can produce a discharge of over 500 volts (at about one ampere) and the fresh water African catfish (Malapterurus electricus) produces about 350 volts."
Also: Guinness Book of Records. New York: Bantam, 1992: 95.
It states: "The most powerful electric fish is the electric eel, which is found in the rivers of Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela, and Peru. An average size specimen can discharge 400 volts at 1 amp, but measurements up to 650 volts have been recorded."
The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts. For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts
Therefore, 1 amp X 500 volts = 500 watts

What is electric pressure called A volts B Amperes C resistance?
Volts.
What is the metric unit of electricity?
There is no "unit of electricity" metric or otherwise. There are units of measurement for electric charge (coulombs), potential (volts), current (amperes), energy (joules) and power (watts).
How many volts of electricity can an electric ray produce from a large mass of muscle on each of its sides?
Ummm .. How does an electric ray use its electricity ?
How 10kw at 240volts what is amps?
Pwer is volts times amperes. 120 volts times 10 amperes = 1.2 KW
How many volts can you get from 260 watts?
It depends on how many amperes there are. If you have 1 amperes, then you get 260 watts. If you have 260 amperes, then you have 67,600 watts. If you have 0.001 amperes, then you have 0.26 watts. Its just watts = volts times amperes. Of course, the limiting factor is the available power behind the 260 volts, but you did not say anything about that.

Why does lightning kill you?
Lightning is a massive discharge of electricity. The massive electric discharge of tens of thousands of amperes and tens of millions of volts can cause major nerve and brain damage.
How are volts and amperes alike and different?
They are measures of electricity, which makes them similar. But volts are tension and amps are current, which makes them different.
Unit of electric power determined by muliplying volts times amperes?
Power=Volts x Amps Unit for power is watts
How do you convert 100 volts into Ampere's?
it is impossible to convert volts into amperes, because there are two different units of measurement. Volts refers, as you know, to voltage, or the electric potential difference between two points, and amperes refers to the current, or the intensity of the electric current. Its like trying to convert horses into donkeys.
How do electricians measure electricity?
Volts, amperes, watts and ohms. pressure (or force), current, energy, and resistance.
How do electricians measure electricity vaules?
Volts, amperes, watts and ohms. pressure (or force), current, energy, and resistance.
What are electrical currents measured in?
Electric current is measured in amperes. 1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second
What are 3 examples of electrical energy?
. lightning . batteries . energy generated by electric eels
2 volts divided by 100 kOhms equals how many milliamps?
2 volts across 100 kOhms produces 0.02 milliamps (or 20 microamps) of current. Ohm's law: Voltage = Amperes * Ohms, so Amperes = Voltage / Ohms.
How many volts of electricity can an electric eels release?
about 450V to 600V
