No. Current is voltage divided by resistance.
i.e. V=IR, which means I=V/R
Current
Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts
There are several ways to find watts; volts x amps = watts or resistance (ohms) divided by amps squared or volts squared divided by amps. You can search for Ohm's Law to find examples of these different methods and sample calculations.
With an instrument called a multimeter. The single meter incorporates within it a volt meter, an ohm meter and an amp meter. For higher amperages a clamp on amp meter is recommended as the circuit does not have to be opened to take a reading.
Amps and volts are not the same, but related by Ohm's Law. Volts = Amps x Ohms. Ohms is a measure of resistance. Given .01 amps you would have to know resistance to calculate volts.
The equation that you are looking for is I = E/R. Amps = Volts/Resistance.

Volts time amps equals watts so watts divided by volts equal amps.
Current symbol I =voltage/resesistance I=V/R for direct current (dc) and for a resistive load in alternating current (ac)
Amperes does not convert into volts they are two different values. Become familiar with the following formula and look at the relationships between the values. Volts = Amps x Resistance, Amps = Volts / Resistance and Resistance = Volts / Amps.
You use Ohm's Law to make your calculation. Volts = Amps x Resistance Amps = Volts / Resistance

The answer is 20 divided by 40, in amps.
Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms
You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!
