Watt rating is the amount of real power that is absorbed (or supplied). VA is normally the units given to the total complex power which is made up of the real power and reactive power. The formula for complex power is as follows.

S = P + jQ

P is the real power which is used by the resistive elements of the component while the reactive power (imaginary power) is that power which the capacitive and inductive parts of the circuit cause to flow.

Watt ratings are always lower (or equal) to the VA rating due to the fact that it neglects imaginary power that is flowing, because of this both ratings should be taken into account.

What if your tutor tells you than an ampere and a volt really measure the same thing?

An ampere and a volt do not measure the same thing. Ampere measures electric current flow, while volt measures electrical potential difference or voltage. Having a clear understanding of the difference between these units is essential in understanding electricity.

yes you can.


Difference between 12volt armature and 24 volt armature?

The main difference between a 12-volt armature and a 24-volt armature is the voltage rating at which they operate. A 12-volt armature is designed to run on a 12-volt electrical system, while a 24-volt armature is designed for a 24-volt electrical system. This difference determines the power and speed capabilities of the armature when used in electrical devices.


What is the unit of measure that expresses potential difference between two electrodes I am battery?

The unit of measure that expresses the potential difference between two electrodes in a battery is the volt (V). One volt is defined as the potential difference that will drive one ampere of current against one ohm of resistance. This measurement indicates the battery's ability to provide electrical energy to a circuit.


How much charging ampere required for 200 apmere lead acid battery for ups 12 volt?

To find our what charging ampere to use a simple way is to divide the battery Ampere with its ampere hour (i.e. for car batteries they will say 75ah C/20) this means that the battery has 75 ampere rating based on 20 hour rating... as such to find the charging ampere divide 75 by 20 to get a charging ampere of 3.75... this is for a slow charge - to speed up the charge divide the ampere by 5 hours (to charge the battery from empty to full in 5 hours)...
