Best Answer

Milli amps is a measure of current whilst watt is a measure of power.

The missing element is voltage as the formula is:-

Power = Voltage * Amps

ie power in Watts is the product of Volts (in Volts) times Amps (in Amps)

Sorry, you are comparing apples to Oranges. 2 volts at 2 amps is 4 watts. the formula is volts times amps equels watts. you would need to know two of the variables to calculate the third.

Wattage is the product of amps times volts. W = A x V.

How much of ampere can kill?

Milliamps are dangerous Less than 1/2 milliamp no sensation1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillationover 100 paralysis of breathing. possibily 1-2Amp/s can make your heart stop. and kill you. Not the amount of voltage


How many watts are generated by a klieg light?

20,000 watts


What is voltage divided by milliamps?

kilohms.


What is the power draw for a 25 watt low voltage system?

A maximum of 25 watts. On the line side that would be 25w/110 or about 227 milliamps; on the low voltage side, say 12 volts, it would be 25W/12v or 12.5 amps.


Why is a GFCI receptacle set for 5 milli-Ampere?

Milliamp dangersLess than 1/2 milliamp no sensation1/2 to 2 milliamps Threshold of perception2 to 10 milliamps muscular contraction5 to 25 milliamps painful shock (may not be able to let go)Over 25 milliamps Could be violent muscular contraction50 to 100 milliamps Ventricular fibrillationover 100 paralysis of breathing. You can see above, if the circuit was not disconnected the damage that milliamps currents can cause. 2 to 10 milliamps will cause muscular contraction but the circuit is opened in 1/40th of a second so that no damage will be caused. The electronic metering of the current at a level of 5 milliamps (.005 amps) was picked by convention as a safe level to trip the breaker. If there is a difference of 5 milliamps of the current entering the circuit and leaving the circuit, the logic states that the current must be going some place else which could be detrimental to someones health, so the breaker shuts off the current to the load.
