How much amp is in a dc voltage?

There are no amps in a voltage because they are quite different electrical units. They are related by the 'power equation' which is: watts = amps times volts


Is the term "volt amps" synonymous with "watts"?

No, the term "volt amps" is not synonymous with "watts." While both are units of power, they represent slightly different concepts in the field of electrical engineering.


An automotive fuse box generates how many amps of electrical power?

12 amps of electricity.


What is the difference between amps and volt-amps?

Amps (A) measure electrical current flow, while volt-amps (VA) measure apparent power in an electrical circuit, which is the combination of both real power (measured in watts) and reactive power. Essentially, amps refer to current, while volt-amps refer to total power.


What is electrical power the combination of?

Watts = Amps x Volts.


What is the formula for power in terms of amperes?

Electrical power = current x voltage Current is in amps


What are watts amps and ohms?

ohms is a measure of resistance(R) in a circuit. Watts is a measure of the power(P), in this case lets assume it is the power used by the resistive element (lamp, heater etc). Power(watts)=Current(Amps)x Current(amps) x Resistance(ohms) or Resistance (ohms)=Power(W)/(current x current)


What is torque in Electricals?

The electrical equivalent to torque is AMPS. Power in Electricity is Volts * Amps Where in a rotating shaft its RPM * Torque


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] .


Is it true that volt amps are the same as watts?

No, volt-amps (VA) and watts (W) are not the same. Watts measure real power in an electrical circuit, while volt-amps represent the apparent power, which includes both real power and reactive power.


Does amps express the difference in energy?

No, amps (amperes) do not directly express the difference in energy. Amps measure electrical current, which is the flow of electric charge. Energy is typically measured in units such as joules or kilowatt-hours.


If you multiply amps times volts the answer will be in units of?

Voltage, measured in volts. <><><> This question is derived from the fundamental relationship between electrical components which is known as Ohms Law: V = I x R where V = voltage (Volts), I = current (Amps) and R= resistance (Ohms).
