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.

Those two units describe different types of quantities, and they don't convert

to each other.

When 1 ampere flows through 1 ohm of resistance, the current gives up

1 joule of energy every second, and the resistance dissipates it as heat.

Starting from those numbers, the energy dissipated every second increases

exactly as the resistance grows, and as the square of the current grows.

This means:

-- If the resistance doubles, the amount of energy every second also doubles.

-- If the current doubles, the amount of energy every second increases by four times.

How many amps in 200 joules?

200 joules of any other type of energy can be converted to 200 joules of heat.


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.


How many amps are in a 360 watt vacuum?

If the voltage in your vacuum is 120 then you divide the Wattage by the Voltage to get 3 amps.


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


At 12 volts how many watts is 30 amps?

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


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.


What unit or measurement is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit?

Depends on a type of protector. Some protectors work by absorbing energy. These might be rated in joules (pronounced 'jewel'). Are typically hundreds or a few thousand joules. Another protector for all types of surges works differently. It is measured in amps. For example a typically destructive surge (lightning is one example) might be 20,000 amps. So a 'whole house' protector is minimally 50,000 amps. Protector must not stop working. If properly sized, it only degrades. Protector that is grossly undersized stops working in a manner that violated the manufacturer's specifications. And that is a potential fire. A typically destructive surge can be hundred of thousands of joules. What does that do to the first type protector that must somehow absorb that energy? Two type protectors. One rated in joules. The other in amps.
