Yes, sort of. At least for DC, that's correct, since P = I x V (power = current x voltage). In the case of AC, the correct formula is:

P = I x V x (power factor)

In many practical situations, the power factor is close to 1, and can therefore be ignored.

How many amps does a 750 watt 120 volt heater draw?

To find the current in amps that a 750 watt, 120 volt heater draws, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, 750 watts divided by 120 volts equals 6.25 amps. Therefore, the heater draws approximately 6.25 amps.


What is the formula for finding out how many amps is required to achieve the full 100 watt output from a 9 volt bulb?

The formula is volts times amps equals watts, or watts divided by volts equals amps.


How many amp can support 3200 watt at 240 volt?

To find out how many amps are needed to support 3200 watts at 240 volts, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Therefore, 3200 watts divided by 240 volts equals approximately 13.33 amps. So, you would need about 13.33 amps to support a 3200-watt load at 240 volts.

How many amps do you need for 580 watt?

A very basic formula is that power (watts) equals amperage times voltage. For example, if you are operating at 120 volts, 580 watts, the amperage would be 4.8 amps (580 divided by 120).


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.


How much Electricity is used by geyser?

It depends on the wattage of the unit. When that is found use the formula; Amps = Watts/Volts to find your answer.


What fuse do you need to run a 200 watt bulb with 230V?

The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.
