If an electric eel produces 500 volts of electricity how many watts is that... if you need amperes to get the answer how do you find that out?

158.11388300841898 voltsWRONGAccording to: "Electric Fish." Encyclopedia Americana.the answer is: "The electric eel (Electrophorous electricus) can produce a discharge of over 500 volts (at about one ampere) and the fresh water African catfish (Malapterurus electricus) produces about 350 volts."Also: Guinness Book of Records. New York: Bantam, 1992: 95.It states: "The most powerful electric fish is the electric eel, which is found in the rivers of Brazil, Columbia, Venezuela, and Peru. An average size specimen can discharge 400 volts at 1 amp, but measurements up to 650 volts have been recorded."The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts. For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 wattsTherefore, 1 amp X 500 volts = 500 watts


How does the highest discharge of an electric eel compare with the voltage that comes out of a normal wall socket?

An electric eel can discharge up to 600 volts, while a normal wall socket in the United States typically outputs around 120 volts. This means that an electric eel can generate a much higher voltage than a standard wall socket.


Is the electric eel really electric?

yes...The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), which is found in South American tropical regions, has the ability to produce powerful electric charges. The low intensity charges emitted by the eel range from 5 to 10 V. The higher intensity charges vary by the size of the eel. Smaller eels (about 10 cm in length) can produce charges of up to 100 V. Larger eels (over 1 m in length) can produce charges of 450 to 650 volts of electricity. The discharging system of the electric cells was first explained by a Martins-Ferreira, Altamirano and Keynes in 1953.The electric organs of the eel are located in its tail, which is roughly 4/5 of the animal's body. The electric organs are made up of a large number of electric disks (as many as 200,000 in one tail) piled in vertical or horizontal rows. The nerve endings located at the end of the electroplax discharge the electricity.


How many watts does 20 amps at 240 volts produce?

The unit of power is expressed in watts, and the product of current (Amps) and voltage (volts) is power there fore if you multiply the amps and the volts give watts. so 20 x 240 will give you a 4800 watts of power.

How much electricity does an electric eel generate and how is it able to produce such high voltage?

An electric eel can generate up to 600 volts of electricity. It is able to produce such high voltage because of specialized cells called electrocytes in its body that work together to create electric shocks.
