The 12 v light should have the voltage and the power in watts printed on it. When it is running, it uses that amount of watts continuously. The energy is measured by the watt-hours, in other words the watts multiplied by the number of hours it runs for. 1000 watt hours makes 1 kilowatt-hour, which is a Unit on the electricity bill.
Multiply the current by the voltage: 120 times 0.3, which is 40 watts.
To convert mAh (milliamp hours) to watts, you need to know the voltage as well. If we assume a standard voltage of 3.7V for a typical lithium-ion battery, then 7200mAh would be equivalent to 26.64 watt-hours (7200mAh x 3.7V / 1000).
Have to know the voltage to answer this question.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
To convert voltage to watts, you also need to know the current in the circuit. The formula to calculate power (watts) is: power = voltage x current. As voltage alone is given, you would also need the current flowing through the circuit to accurately determine the power in watts. Without the current value, it is not possible to convert voltage directly to watts.
Need a voltage to answer this question.
Voltage times current is equivalent to power (watts). You need to keep in mind that milli amp hours (mAh) is amps with a unit of time - it's a specific amount of current for 1 hour. Watts is an instananeous measurement; watt hours is the equivalent you should be looking for. there is no direct conversion for watts from voltage and mAh.
The problem here is that "Ah" (ampere-hours) is not a unit of energy. To convert that to units of energy, you need to multiply by the voltage of the battery. The result, of course, will vary depending on the battery type.The result of this multiplication would give you ampere-hours-volts, or watts-hours (watts times hours). Therefore, you can then divide by the number of watts used, to obtain the time (in hours).
Divide the wattage by the voltage. If it is 120Volt then the answer is .15Amp
Look on the light bulb for the voltage and the power in watts. Then divide the watts by the voltage and that gives the amps. Some CFL bulbs also state the current as well as the voltage and power, which is because they can have a poor power factor.
Amps times volts = watts Watts measures the rate of power usage. watts times hours = watt hours Watt hours is a measure of the amount of power used.
Multiply the current by the voltage: 120 times 0.3, which is 40 watts.
To obtain amps from watts a voltage must be given.
To convert mAh (milliamp hours) to watts, you need to know the voltage as well. If we assume a standard voltage of 3.7V for a typical lithium-ion battery, then 7200mAh would be equivalent to 26.64 watt-hours (7200mAh x 3.7V / 1000).
It depends on the bulb, how many watts it is. All bulbs are marked with the correct voltage and the power taken, in watts. You multiply the watts by the number of hours to find the watt-hours of energy used. Then divide by 1000 to find the kilowatt-hours. A kilowatt-hour is also called a unit and you pay about £0.15 for a unit of electricity. Let's say it's a 100 watt bulb running for 24 hours. That uses 2400 watt-hours or 2.4 kilowatt-hours, which costs about 2.4 x £0.15 which is £0.36.
