There are lots of different units for electricity, depending what aspect you want to measure (power, energy, current, voltage, frequency, etc.).For a power plant, some relevant units include: * Volt, for voltage * Ampere, for current * Watt, for power * Hertz, for frequency
Ohm's Law: voltage = current x resistance. The SI units involved are the following:Voltage: voltsCurrent: amperesResistance: ohms
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] .
If voltage increases and the resistance stays the same the current must increase. According to Ohm's LawV~I (Directly Proportional) and V=RI where R is the constant of Proportionality, Resistance.
ElectricalElectrical current is measured with an ammeter and in units called amperes, or amps.Stream FlowRiver flow or current (discharge) is measured in cubic feet per second or cubic meters per second.
The unit of voltage is the "volt". The unit of current, sometimes called "amperage", is the "ampere".
Amperes and volts, respectively.
Electric current is measured in amps not voltsElectric voltage is measured in volts.
Voltage: The proper term is 'electromotive force'. It's measured in volts.Current: Measured in amperes.Resistance: Measured in ohms.
It doesn't matter as long as you measure both voltage and current in same units.
Wattage refers to power power is voltage times current. P = V*I Therefore, in order to know the voltage you need you also need to measure the current (units of amps).
Electrical current is the number of elementary charge units (coulombs) that pass by a given point in one second. Current, measured in amperes, is coulombs per second. Electrical voltage is the "pressure" behind that current. Voltage, measured in volts, is joules per coulomb.
The "force" that pushes an electrical current is the voltage. It isn't really a force, but it may help to visualize it as such. Physically, it has different units than a force.
Power supplies are normally units that adapt the incoming current from a "mains" source and convert it to a lower (regulated) voltage that can be used by an appliance. They are commonly found in computers, charger units, low voltage lighting systems etc.

To calculate the starting current of a motor, the run current must be stated. The voltage is only associated with this calculation in as the higher the motor's voltage is the lower the run current is. The start current can be as high as 300 to 600 percent of the run current. Also taken into account, without the specific make and model of the A/C, the run current is hard to guess as there is quite a variety of amperage drawn by these units.
Voltage is the "force" that pushes the electrons or other charge carriers, producing a current. It should be noted that voltage does not have the units of force; thus, the traditional name "emf" (electromotive force) is misleading.
