What is the relationship between a volt an amp and a watt?

A volt is the unit of electric potential, an amp is the unit of electric current, and a watt is the unit of power. The relationship between them is described by the equation: Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) x Current (in amps).


What is 50 millivolts equal to in milli amps?

Milli volt is one thousandth of a Volt and Milli amp is one thousandth of an Amp. Volt and Amp measure two different things and are not really comparable. Over simplified, here is how it works. Volt measures the 'pressure' that causes current to flow. Current flow is measured in Amps and depends on the how much resistance the 'pressure' has to overcome. Higher the resistance, lesser the current (Amp) for same pressure (Volt)


Can I use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on my computer's 6 amp 125 volt input?

Yes, you can use a 10 amp 125 volt power cord on your computer with a 6 amp 125 volt input. The power cord's amp rating represents the maximum current it can handle, so it is suitable for your computer's lower amperage requirement. Just ensure the voltage matches to avoid any potential damage.


What does Volt-Amp mean?

A 'volt ampere' (not 'volt amp'!) is the unit for theapparent power of a load in an a.c. circuit. It is simply the product of the supply voltage and the load current.


Is there a difference between a 9-volt 200mA power cord and a 9-volt 2 amp power cord?

Yes, there is a difference. The 9-volt 2 amp power cord can handle a higher current flow compared to the 9-volt 200mA power cord. This means it can power devices that require a higher current draw without being damaged.

How much amp makes 1 kilo volt?

Amp, Amperes is current. Volt, and any variation, is tension. There's no direct translation between them.


How can you find a transistor that will turn on and off the flow of 120 volt 60 amp alternating current 1000 times a second of faster to run a product you are trying to develop?

Research. Call transistor manufacturers.


What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with branch voltages of 440 volt and 440 volt and branch currents of 4 amp and 16 amp?

resistance = volt / current . 440 volt across a parallel circuit means the same 440 volt across both resistance s. hence resistance r = volt / current . 440 / 20 amp = 27.5 ohms total resistance
