Is 120 volts kind of the same as 1850 watts?

No, 120 volts and 1850 watts are not the same. Volts measure the voltage or potential difference in an electrical circuit, while watts measure power consumption. To calculate power, you need both voltage and current, as P = V x I. In this case, if the current is known, you can use the formula to determine the power in watts with 120 volts.


How many amps are in 8000 watts?

It depends on your voltage. Power (P) = Current (I) * Voltage (V) 800 amps at 1 volt is 800 watts or 0.8 kW. 800 amps at 120 volts is 96,000 watts or 96 kW. 800 amps at 34.5kV is 27,600,000 or 27,600 kW.


How many watts is 1.8 amps?

180. well that is a partial answer and is only true if those 1.8 amps are pushed through at 100 volts. Watts= Amps times Volts An amp (Full name=Ampere) is 6.241 × 1018 electrons passing a point in a circuit in one second. It doesn't matter what the voltage is, an amp is as stated above. AT 12 volts, watts=1.8*12=21.6 At 120 volts, watts=1.8*120=216 At 1200 volts, watts=1.8*1200=2160 Without knowing the voltage, one cannot determine the wattage. There are some small discrepancies between Alternating Current (AC) Direct Current (DC). With DC, the formula can be considered correct. With AC, it is an average Wattage. Why, you ask. Because AC voltage Is kind of an average. As the voltage alternates between positive and negative, it really goes a bit higher than 120 volts. In fact it goes 1.414... times 120 volts or as high as and as low as ±169.68 volts. (1.414... is a rough approximation of the square root of 2.) This formula, Peak Voltage= VoltageAC times Square root of 2, is called the "root mean square." You can look all these terms up by searching for them on the internet. Ampere (Amp) (A) Volts (V) Watts (W) Alternating Current (AC) Direct Current (DC) Root Mean Square (RMS) To summarize the formula: W= V * A = Watts V= W / A = Volts A= W / V = Amps Notice: you must know two of the relevant values. <<>> 1.8 amps is equal ot zero watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. To answer this question a voltage value must be stated.


Explain what a volt is and how many you get in one cell?

Depends on which kind of cell. From 1.2 volts to 3.6 volts in the various types of cell.


How much current in amps is needed to power a 3kw amplifier at 1500 volts?

It depends on what kind of amp it is. Is it an audio amp or an rf amp . . A 3 kW audio amp would draw about 300 watts on average at most, so with a good reservoir capacitor the supply current would be 0.2 amps. A 3 kW rf amp for AM radio would draw about 4500 watts so the supply current would be 3 amps.

How many amps are 8000 watts?

WATTS = Volts x Amps For me to tell you what kind of amperage you're dealing with you'd have to tell me what voltage you're using. Or you could simply do the math yourself. Simply divide the watts by the volts and you'll get amps.

How many amps for 120 volts?

As many as you want. It depends on the capacity of your supply. Let me break this down. Current or amps is what is drawn by a device or a load. For example, lets say you plug in a 1500 watt 120 volt space heater and turn it on. Now you want to know what kind of amperage is being drawn by this device. Take 1500 watts and divide 120 volts into it. The answer will be your amperage or current. The current draw would be 12.5 amps. (I know there are other people out there who say no no that is not entirely right. I know this. I do not wish to give a lesson in calculating impedance when this answer is close enough and is with in a safe range of accuracy. Just keeping it simple)Another fact that may be of interest to you is there is as much as a 8000 fault amp potential in the average 100 amp service panel. This means that if your two lines coming into your panel would short it would blow up. This is what is called an Arc Blast.
