Watts are a unit of power and Volts are a unit of electric potential, so they cannot be directly compared. However, Watts and Volts can be related by

Watts = Volts * Amperes

or

Watts = (Volts^2) / Ohms

where Amperes are a unit of current and Ohms are a unit of resistance. So, for example, if a lightbulb draws .333 Amps of current at 120 Volts, it is a 40 Watt bulb. (.333 A * 120 V = 40 W)

100 watt is equal to how many va?

Since watts and volt-amps are different units of power, you cannot directly convert watts to volt-amps without considering the power factor of the load. In an ideal resistive circuit, 100 watts would be equivalent to 100 volt-amps. However, in practical applications with reactive components, the relationship between watts and volt-amps can vary.
