Current is directly proportional to the applied emf (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

What would the current draw be if there was six ten ohm resistors connected in series across a 120 volts?

The total current in a circuit consisting of six operating 100 watt lamps connected in parallel to a 120 volt source is 5 amperes. Since power is volts times amps, take 600 watts (100 times 6) and divide by 120 volts to get 5 amps.


How do you convert watts into amperes?

To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.


What phase current is flowing in a balanced purely resistive 480V 3 Phase Delta connnected system with a demand of 96KW?

96 kW means 32 kW from each phase. If the load is star connected each resistor has 277 volts across it and carries 32,000/277 amps, 115.5 amps. The load resistors are 277/115.5 ohms or 2.40 ohms If the load is delta connected each resistor has 480 volts across it and carries 66.7 amps. The load resistors are 480/66.7 ohms or 7.20 ohms. In both cases the line current is 115.5 amps.


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


If you have a power supply that puts out 4.5 volts and 2 amps but the light you have only needs 4.5 volts and 1 amp will you fry the light?

It's highly possible. The difference in amperage might be minuscule but it all depends on the gauge of the wiring, the resistors, and the capacity of the board.

What is meant by resistors?

resisters actually slow down the amount of volts and or amps going thru them.If you have say 12 volts and you want only 6 volts you use a formula to determine the size opf resisters you need to accomplish this.


How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?

The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.


If voltage is 12 volts and ohms is 0.5 how many amps in circuit?

Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps


What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?

To convert watts to amps at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 1500 watts at 120 volts, the calculation would be: 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps.


4 volts is a many watts?

4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.

Using 120 volts at 12 amps is the same power as what amps at 220 volts?

6 amps.


How many amps at 12 volts equals 16 amps at 120 volts?

160 amps at 12v.


How many amps at 120 volts equals 16 amps at 12 volts?

160 amps at 12v.


How many amps are in ohms?

It's not that simple. The basic formula is Volts / Ohms = Amps. For 30 Volts you'd get 0.5 Amps, for 60 Volts you'd get 1 Amp, for 120 Volts you'd get 2 Amps.


Does 50 amps rated at 240 volts equal 100 amps rated at 120 volts?

When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.


200 watts to amps 12v?

To convert watts to amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, to convert 200 watts at 12 volts to amps, it would be: 200 watts / 12 volts = 16.67 amps. So, 200 watts at 12 volts is approximately 16.67 amps.
