No. The two are measurements of different things. Volts are a measure of electromotive force (the force that makes electricity want to flow. To quote a common analogy, compare volts to water pressure. The higher the voltage (pressure), the more energy stored waiting for the opportunity to flow. Amperage is a measure of the rate of electricity flow. Compare amps to water flow rate (such as gallons per minute). The higher the amperage (flow rate), the more electricity (water) flows in a given amount of time.
One volt is the electric potential required to generate one ampere through one ohm. One volt is the electric potential involved when one ampere generates one watt of power. One volt is one joule per coulomb.
yes you can.
Basically VA is the same as watt. Kilo means thousand, Mega (abbreviatted M) means a million.AnswerThe watt and the volt ampere are used to measure two different quantities and, so, cannot be directly converted one to the other. The watt is used to measure 'true power', while the volt ampere is used to measure 'apparent power'.There is, though, a relationship between the two, as the true power of a load is equal to its apparent power multiplied by the power factor of that load. So, if you know the power factor (which can vary from 0 to 1), then you can determine the true power of a load, if you are given its apparent power.Incidentally, SI doesn't recognise either the volt ampere (apparent power) or reactive volt ampere (reactive power); all forms of 'power' are measured in watts in SI. The volt ampere and the reactive volt ampere are best described as 'traditional' units.
kVA is kilo-volt-ampere, which is 1000 x volt x ampere. kVA is the unit of apparent power in AC circuits.
1/1 = 1ohm MR. volta [italian] Determined that it would take 1 volt to pass 1 amp trough a 1 ohm resistor MR ampere [ french] Ditermined that it would take 1 ohm and 1 volt to pass one ampere MR ohms [english] determinaed that for 1 volt and one ampere the resistance must be 1 ohm. mr watts determined that the product of volts x ampere will equal one watt [power]
Among other things, 1 ampere is equal to:1 coulomb / second1 volt / 1 ohmBasically, you can understand 1 ampere as a certain amount of electric charge (1 coulomb) flowing past a certain point per second (although in the SI, the definitions are the other way round: the coulomb is a unit derived from the ampere).
yes
1 volt x 1 ampere = 1 watt, a unit of power. One watt is also the same as one joule / second.
About as much as 15 typical (60watt each) light bulbs together. Or expressed in horsepower: about 1.2Hp Mains volts and ampere: 230 volt at 3.91 ampere = 900watt 110 volt at 8.18 ampere = 900watt

The volt is a derived unit of electrical potential. It is equal to joules per coulomb, or kilogram meter squared per ampere second cubed.
