If the question refers to Voltage (volts) and Amperes (amp), then the answer is no!

If you imagine holding a garden hose with the spray at the end closed preventing water flow, but the tap (valve) at the other end open, there will be a pressure of water in the hose, but no water flow.

The pressure in the hose (measured in Bar) is similar to the voltage applied to a cable. When the spray is operated there is a flow of water through the hose, this is similar to the current flowing through a cable and its load when a switch is closed, the current is measured in amperes.

No, a 30 amp shore power plug is strictly 120volts. A 50 amp shore power plug is technically a 220v system, however the camper uses the two 120v wires in the cord separately. There are no 220v appliances in RV's today.


If a battery has 100 amp hours at 12 volts dc how many amp hours will it have with a 120 volt ac inverter connected?

The amp hours capacity of a battery remains the same whether it is connected to a 12-volt DC load or a 120-volt AC inverter. So, the battery would still have 100 amp hours regardless of the inverter voltage.
