Watts, amperes (amps) and voltage are three aspects of electricity. There are no watts or amps in a volt. Watts are equal to volts multiplied by amperes (watts = amps x volts).

If you consider the equation Watt(W)=Voltage(V)*current(I), you can see the relationship between the watt and volt. That is, in the simplest terms consistent with Ohm's Law, putting this equation in to this form, V=W/I. That is watt(a measure of Power) is directly proportional to voltage. This is the mathematical relationship so there is no watt-amp. FYI Ohm's Law shows the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. E=I*R.

(amendment) Watts are only directly proportional to voltage if the current is independent of voltage, which is unusual. For a resistive load, the current is also proportional to voltage, so W=V x (V/R) or W=V2/R or I2R

Volts and currents are separate measures of electricty.

They are interrelated by the resistance in Ohm's law.

If you specify any two you can calculate the third (although the term "current in a volt" is technically not correct)

You have only specified Zero values.

The correct terminology is How much current will flow when I apply X volts to Y resistance. or something like that.
