Is converting ac to watts and dc to watts the same watts equals volts times amps?

Yes, watts is still volts times amps, for both ac and dc circuits. The complexity lies in the phase angle between voltage and current. If the circuit is purely resistive, the phase angle will be zero. If the circuit is capacitive or inductive, the the phase angle will vary, depending on frequency and on how much capacitive or inductive reactance there is. The difference comes into play when you consider true versus apparent power.

At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?
Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts
What does 1.5 watts equal to amp using 12 volts?
volts times amps equal watts. So 12 volts times ? amp equals 1.5 watts. The current is 1.5/12 amps, which is 1/8 amp.
How many watt in amp?
It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.
How many amps is 450 watts?
450 watts divided by 120 volts equals 3.75 amps450 watts divided by 12 volts equals 37.5 ampswatts divided by volts equals amps
How many watts is in 9 volts?
You can't convert volts to amperes. Those are quite different units; that would be like converting, say, meters to seconds.
At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?
Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts
How many watts is five volts?
It depends on the current in amps. The watts would be equal to 5 times the current, because watts equals amps times volts.
How many watts in a car batery?
watts equals volts times amps,do the math
If a circuit contains 1800 watts of loadthe voltage is 120what is the total amperage?
Volts times amps equals watts, so watts divided by volts equals amps, so 15 amps
What does 1.5 watts equal to amp using 12 volts?
volts times amps equal watts. So 12 volts times ? amp equals 1.5 watts. The current is 1.5/12 amps, which is 1/8 amp.

How many amps is 450 watts?
450 watts divided by 120 volts equals 3.75 amps450 watts divided by 12 volts equals 37.5 ampswatts divided by volts equals amps
How many volts is in ten watts?
Volts and watts are different quantities and their relationship also includes the electric current. Voltage times current in amps equals the power in watts use.
How many watts is in 9 volts?
You can't convert volts to amperes. Those are quite different units; that would be like converting, say, meters to seconds.
What is 0.011 in converting watts to amperes?
To convert watts to amps a voltage value must be given. Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = .011/Volts.
How do you convert watts into amperes?
To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.
What is 1.5amps 115 volts equal to in watts?
There really is no fixed answer. Amps are a measure of current, while watts are a measure of work. To get the answer, you need to know either how many volts you are dealing with, or how much resistance; the relationship is W= V*I (where I is the current in amps). That said, for a typical 120 volt household current, the number of watts would be 180.
