If you have the right test equipment amps are the easiest to measure. A slip over the wire amp meter is easier to use than a clamp on amp meter. The other two values have to be measured by using test leads from the test equipment.

Watt volts is not an electrical term. Watts are the product of amps times volts.


How many volts in a watt?

It depends on how many Amps (current) are applied to the voltage. Watt = Volts x Amps. e.g. 12 volts @ 5 amps = 60 watts


How many watt in amp?

It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.

How are amps different from watts and volts?

Amps measure the current flowing in a circuit, watts measure power output, and volts measure voltage difference. In an electrical system, volts x amps = watts, so they are related but measure different aspects of electricity. Volts represent the force pushing electrical current, while amps indicate the rate of flow, and watts show the total power consumed or produced.
