Yes. Watts = Volts X Amps or Power measured in watts, equals voltage times current.

This can be changed around to solve for any of the unknown variables.

Current in amps equals watts divided by volts

Volts equals watts divided by amps

Is that what you need? There are additional formulas for current, resistance and voltage comparisons and calculations. Look up "Ohms law" on the internet for more detailed information.

Answer

No. You cannot compare the two, as they are used to measure different quantities.

How are watts determined?

The watt is a measurement of power. In electrical circuit, to determined watts there is a formula volts x amps = watts


What is the amperage for a 20000 volt-amp heating unit on a 240 volt single phase circuit?

Volt amps is the same way of saying watts. This is seen in the formula Watts = Volts x Amps. Using the formula I = W/E we transpose I = 20000/240 = 83.33 amps.


Is there a way for coverting amps into watts in a 12 volt applacation?

To convert amps to watts in a 12-volt application, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts x Amps. Therefore, in a 12-volt circuit, if you have 1 amp of current, the power consumption would be 12 watts (12V x 1A).


What is one way of expressing the formula for power?

Power is the amount of energy used per unit of time. In the SI system its units are Watts = Joules per second.


Is there a formula for converting dc watts to ac watts?

Power is as easy as PIE (P=IxE). Watts equals the current squared time the resistance. Assuming a pure resistive load; they are equal. To answer the question precisely, one DC watt equals one AC watt.


How many watts in 250 volts?

Watts is what you get by multiplying Amps times Voltage, so unless you know Voltage there's no way of telling. For 100 Volts you'd get 250 Watts at 1 amp, for 50 Volts you get it at 5 Amps, and so on.


What is another way to say compare the flow rates of liquids?

Another way to say compare the flow rates of liquids is compare their viscosities.


How many watts in 30 amp?

There is no way to tell, you don't have enough information. Watts are what you get by multiplying the amps x the voltage. Simply put, Volts X Amps = Watts.


How much is 45 watts in volts?

Look at it this way... 1 Watt = 1 Volt x 1 Amp Without knowing amperage, your question is unanswerable.Example - your 110 Volt house wiring can power 40w or 60w or 100w or ... w light. however they all have different currents.


How much is 1.89 kW in terms of watts?

There are 1000 watts in one kW. So 1.89 x 1000 = 1890watts. To go the other way changing watts to kW you divide watts by 1000. 1890/1000 = 1.89 kW.


Which is hotter 40 c or 97 f?

Why not use the formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit (or the other way round), to convert both temperatures to the same scale. Then you can easily compare them.


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.
