They are different terms. Amps refer to the amount of energy, volts refers to electrical "potential".

Amps * Volts = Watts.

So if you don't already know a little about electricity, it just became more confusing. One volt of power into 1 ohm resistance equals 1 amp of flow Volts = electrical pressure, Amps = current flow, ohms = amount of resistance in the circuit. dividing voltage by resistance gives you the amount of current. Dividing voltage by current gives you resistance. Muntiplying current by resistance gives you voltage If you know any 2 values, you can calculate the third. See "Ohms Law" on the internet for further reading.

How many volts equal one watt of power in one second?

Zero volts equal one watt. Watts is the product of amps times volts. Without an amperage the voltage can not be calculated. The time constant has nothing to do with the equation.


How many watts in one ampere?

One ampere is equal to one watt in a system with a voltage of one volt. This relationship is defined by Ohm's Law, which states that power (in watts) is equal to current (in amperes) multiplied by voltage (in volts).


One watt is equal to how many voltage?

The watt is a measurement of work done by an object at constant velocity and under constant force. 1 watt, therefore, is equal to 1 Joule per second.


How many unit is 1 kv?

Unfortunately, the question as phrased is meaningless. A watt or kilowatt is a measure of voltage times current - one kilovolt at one amp of current dissipates one kilowatt of energy, but the same kilovolt at one tenth of an amp of current only dissipates 100 watts. Here's the formula: Watts = Volts * Amps


How many volts is one statvolt equal to?

How many volts does it require to power one watt?

Watts = Volts x Amps So you need to know the current. This is only for resistive load.


How many watts equals 1 million electron volts?

1 million electron-volts = roughly 4.45 watt-hours.By definition, 1 electron-volt is equal to the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single unbound electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt.The watt-hour (symbolized Wh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one watt (1 W) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time.


How many watt hours in 2680 mah at 3.7volts?

P=EI. MEANS POWER EQUALS VOLTAGE TIME AMPERAGE .9 X 3.7 = 3.33 WATTS. 3.33 WATTS FOR ONE HOUR AT 3.7 volts


How many volts are equal to one watt?

The voltage delivering 1 watt depends on how many amps are present. We use watts to measure power (P), and amps (I) times volts (E) equals watts. We sometimes see the equation P = I x E written to express this relationship. Let's look at a couple of instances. If we have 1 amp times 1 volt, we'll get 1 watt. But 1/2 amp times 2 volts also equals 1 watt. Likewise, 10 amps times 0.1 volts equals 1 watt. Or 0.001 amps times 1,000 volts (1 milliamp times 1 kilovolt) equals 1 watt. As you can see, it is a combination of voltage and current that gives us wattage (power), and any voltage you can imagine can be used to get one watt of power when you have the correct current (amperage).
