For DC, the power (in watts) is equal to the current (in amperes) multiplied by the voltage (in volts). For AC, you also need to multiply a so-called "power factor", but in practice, this is often close to 1.

How many watts is 7 amps?

In general, multiply the (rms) current by the (rms) voltage to get the power. If the voltage to the appliance is 120 Volts, then the power of 4.2 Amps is 504 Watts. If the voltage is 240 Volts, then 1008 Watts. Note: To be technically accurate, you must also multiply the cosine of the phase-angle between current and voltage. For any typical appliance, this is 1 and can be ignored. <<>> There are zero watts in 4.2 amps. Watts = Amps x Volts. Without a voltage stated the wattage can not be calculated.


How much power does a device that operates on 12 volts and draws 7 amps consume?

The device consumes 84 watts of power. This can be calculated by multiplying the voltage (12 volts) by the current (7 amps). So, 12 volts x 7 amps = 84 watts.


A 14 volt lightbulb is equal to how many watts?

If you have 14 watts, you have 14 watts of power. We measure electromotive force (EMF), which is commonly called voltage, in volts. EMF (voltage) is the force that will drive electron current flow, which is measured in amps. Simply put, power is current times voltage, or, said another way, watts is amps times volts. If you have 14 watts, you could have 14 amps at 1 volt, 7 amps at 2 volts, 2 amps at 7 volts, or any other combination of current and voltage with a product of 14. You may have picked up that because watts is amps times volts, we can say that a watt is a volt-amp. Extending that thinking, 14 watts is 14 volt-amps. There is no way to write 14 watts in volts, at least not without having a bit more information.


How many joules equals 1 kilo amp?

This is not a valid question by itself. Joules are units of energy, while Amps are units of electrical current. However, if you also know the Voltage of the electrical current, you can multiply the Current[Amps]*Voltage[Volts] to get the Power in Watts. Watts are equivalent to Joules per second. If you then know the amount of time of the current flow, you can calculate the total number of Joules by multiplying the Power[Watts]*Time[seconds] = Energy[Joules] .


With 110 volt ac current and 7 amps how many hp do you have?

1 HP = 746 watts. Watts = amps x volts. 7 x 110 = 770 watts. 770/746 = 1.032 HP


How do you calculate the maximum power dissipated in diode?

The power dissipated by a diode is P = Vf x I watts, where Vf is the forward voltage drop on diode (typically 0.5 volts for silicon diode) and I is the current.


How many watts is 7 amps at twelve volts?

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


How many amps are in 6500 Watts?

To calculate the amperage, you need to know the voltage of the circuit. If you assume a standard 120V circuit, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 6500 Watts on a 120V circuit, it would be approximately 54.17 Amps.


If the current is 35 Amperes in the resistant is 7 ohms what is the voltage?

To find the voltage, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). In this case, V = I × R = 35 A × 7 Ω = 245 Volts. Therefore, the voltage is 245 Volts.


How many 7 watt lights on a 350 ft 16-2 150 volt wire?

At that distance the current would be limited by the acceptable voltage drop. As the load consists of lights a 3% drop should be the starting point, which means a voltage drop of 4.5 volts. 700 ft of 16-2 wire (copper) has a resistance of 1.4 ohms therefore the current allowed is 4.5/1.4 amps or 3.2 amps. The total power is 150x3.2 watts, or 480 watts, so the number of lamps is 480/7 or 68 lamps.
