Wattage and voltage are two different forms of measuring electrical power.
Voltage is measure of the strength of an electrical charge.
Wattage is the measure of the consumption of that charge.
Wattage is used to measure the heat generated from the flow of electricity between two points whereas voltage measures the density of electrical charge of that flow. The wattage produced is directly proportionate to the electrical resistance of the item when voltage is applied to or travels across it. This is why a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb. By using an element with a higher resistance to an electrical charge in a 100 watt bulb than a 50 watt bulb the 100 produces a higher "glow" because the electricity cannot travel as freely across the element causing it to heat up thereby consuming a larger amount of the charge passing through it. The amount the charge dissipates from one side to the other is the wattage. Or more eloquently stated as Ohm's law: The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
A volt-amp or VA is equivalent to watts, provided the voltage and amperage are in phase. So 1 kilo volt amp is the same as 1 kilowatt. Wattage, or power, is equal to volts times amps. So the original question is effectively nonsense. The number of amps depends on the voltage. If the voltage is 1000 volts, then there's 1 amp in 1 kilo volt amp. If the voltage is 1 volt, then there's 1000 amps. If there's 50 volts, then the amperage is 20 amps. And so on.
Power (in watts) is calculated by multiplying voltage (in volts) by current (in amperes). So the power of 1 volt would need additional information about the current flowing through the circuit to determine the wattage.
The amperage a 220 volt well pump will pull depends on the wattage of the pump. You can calculate it by dividing the wattage by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage. For example, a 1 HP well pump typically pulls around 8-10 amps at 220 volts.
12 volts is equal to 12000 millivolts (mV). This conversion is based on the fact that 1 volt is equivalent to 1000 millivolts.
A VA is a volt-ampere, or volt-amp, and a kilo (K) is one thousand. This makes a KVA a kilovolt-ampere, or kilovolt-amp. If we have 1,000 volt-amps, and one volt times one amp is equal to one watt (W), which it is, 1,000 volt-amps is equal to 1,000 watts, or 1 KW. All that said, 1 KVA is equal to 1 KW.Sometimes in an ac system, the watts is less than the volts times the amps, and in that case the watts is equal to the volts times the amps times the power factor. The power factor is less than one. The power factor for a typical electric motor is 0.7, so then there are only 700 watts in a kVA.

Volt is the unit of voltage.One volt is equal to 1 joule per coulomb:1 V = 1 J/C

Yes a 220 volt light bulb will run on a 120 volt circuit but at 1/4 of the wattage that the light bulb is rated at. A 100 watt light bulb on 220 would would be equal to a 25 watt light bult on 120 volt system.
Yes, but by using 120 volts on the 208 volt element you will only be able to obtain 1/4 of the rated wattage from the element not 1/2 like it seems you should.
1 volt is equal to 0.01 hectovolt. Therefore, there are 100 volts in one hectovolt
1 electron volt (eV) is equal to the amount of energy gained by an electron when it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt. This energy amount is approximately equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 joules.
12 volts is equal to 12000 millivolts (mV). This conversion is based on the fact that 1 volt is equivalent to 1000 millivolts.
Yes, 1 electromotive force (emf) is equal to 1 volt. The term emf refers to the potential difference generated by a source of electrical energy, such as a battery or generator, and is measured in volts. Therefore, when we say 1 emf, we are essentially describing a potential difference of 1 volt.
The answer depends entirely on the wattage of bulb used! You can find the amperage of your light by using the Power Law which states that amperage = wattage divided by voltage. Thus a 60 watt bulb on a 120 volt system would draw .5 or 1/2 an amp.
