Watts (W) is calculated by multiplying Volts (V) times Amps (A), so 1W = 1VA

Answer

In a.c. circuits, the watt is used to measure the true power of a load, and is determined by multiplying the supply voltage by the load current by the power-factor of the load. The volt ampere is used to measure the apparent power of a load, and is determined by multiplying the supply voltage by the load current.

So the relationship between the watt and the volt ampere depends on the power factor of the load. For example a 100 VA load with a power factor of 0.8 (leading or lagging) will have a true power of 80 W.

How many 12 volt 50 watt bulbs can be used on the 100 va transformer?

To determine how many 12-volt, 50-watt bulbs can be used on a 100 VA transformer, first convert the transformer's capacity from VA to watts, which is effectively the same for resistive loads (100 watts in this case). Each 50-watt bulb requires 50 watts, so you can divide the total available watts by the wattage of one bulb: 100 watts ÷ 50 watts/bulb = 2 bulbs. Therefore, you can use 2 of the 12-volt, 50-watt bulbs on a 100 VA transformer.

How many lumens in 9 25 watt bulbs?

A standard 25-watt incandescent bulb typically produces about 250 lumens. Therefore, nine 25-watt bulbs would collectively produce approximately 2,250 lumens (9 bulbs x 250 lumens each). This total can vary slightly based on the specific design and efficiency of the bulbs used.
