To convert amps to watts, you need to understand the relationship between them, which is governed by Ohm’s Law and the formula for electrical power.
Here’s the basic relationship:
Power (Watts)=Current (Amps)×Voltage (Volts)
Given this formula, to convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage across the device or circuit.
Determine the Voltage (V): Measure or find out the voltage across the device or circuit in question. This can be found using a voltmeter or by referring to specifications.
Measure the Current (I): In this case, it’s given that it’s 1 amp.
Apply the Formula:
Power (W)=Current (A)×Voltage (V)
You have an appliance that runs on 1 amp of current and is connected to a standard US household electrical outlet supplying 120 volts.
Ans. To find out how many watts the appliance uses:
Power = 1 amp × 120 volts = 120 watts
So, the appliance uses 120 watts of power.
Ans: Watts = Amps x Volts, so the wattage depends on the voltage applied.
Ans: For 1 amp at 220 volts, the power is 220 watts.
To convert amps to watts, multiply the amps by the voltage.
Ans: 1 amp represents a current flow of one coulomb per second.
