They are not the same. Its like asking how many feet equals 10 lbs. Volts are a unit of electrical potential. In hydraulic terms, comparable to water pressure. Joules are energy or "work done". In hydraulic terms a water mill can do work (grind corn say). The work done or energy consumed can be measure in joules.

How many amps in 200 joules?

The number of amps cannot be determined from just the energy in joules. To calculate the current in amps, you would need to know the voltage of the circuit as well. Amps is equal to power (in watts) divided by voltage.


How many joules per coulomb are given to charges that flow in a 120 volt circuit?

No way of telling. to get amps you have to have a current flow, which you get when you connect a consumer to an outlet. Then the consumer will pull amps according to its wattage rating (Watts / Volts = amps) - assuming it's all hooked to a fuse with enough rating.


Does 15 amps equals 1500 joules?

No, 15 amps does not equal 1500 joules. Amperes (amps) measure electric current, while joules measure energy. To relate them, you need to know the voltage (in volts) and the time (in seconds) for which the current flows. The formula for electrical energy is ( \text{Energy (Joules)} = \text{Power (Watts)} \times \text{Time (seconds)} ), where power is calculated as ( \text{Voltage (Volts)} \times \text{Current (Amps)} ).


At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?

Watts is volts times amps, so 12 x 30 = 360 watts


How many joules equals 1 kilo amp?

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] .


How many volts are there in 63 amps?

Without knowing the resistance present or the power being consumed, it is not possible to determine how volts are present in a circuit with 63 amps. Ohm's Law: Voltage = Current times Resistance Volt: Joules per CoulombAmpere: Coulombs per SecondWatt: Joules per Second


How do you convert Mega Joules to Joules?

You can't convert them directly, because they measure different things. The unit for energy is the Joule. Power means how fast energy is transferred; it is measured in Joules/second, also called Watts.


Does amps express the difference in energy?

No, amps (amperes) do not directly express the difference in energy. Amps measure electrical current, which is the flow of electric charge. Energy is typically measured in units such as joules or kilowatt-hours.


What is difference between amp and joule?

Amps (A) measure the flow of electric current, while joules (J) measure energy. Amps represent the rate of electron flow in a circuit, while joules represent the amount of energy transferred or used. In simple terms, amps tell you how many electrons are moving, while joules tell you how much work those moving electrons can do.


How many joules in a petajoule?

A petajoule is 1015 joules (Quadrillion joules)


How many joules should a defribrillator be placed at?

A defibrillator should typically deliver an initial energy of around 150-200 joules for ventricular fibrillation, and up to 360 joules for refractory ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The specific energy level will depend on the device and the patient's condition.


How many joules are in 56 kilo joules?

There are 56,000 joules in 56 kilojoules. This is because there are 1,000 joules in a kilojoule.
