There are zero amps in a watt. I = W/E. W = A x V.

It depends on how many volts there are. Since watts is amps times volts, amps is watts divided by volts. If you had a 120V circuit with 1 watt, there would be 1/120, or 0.00833 amps flowing in that circuit

Note: This is the resistive answer, with a power factor of 1. For reactive loads, things change, but the basic question is answered.

As asked, the question cannot be answered.

The basic electrical formula related to the question is:

Amps * Volts = Watts

To know how many watts are in an amp, you must first know the voltage.

For a standard U.S. Home, with 120V

1Amp * 120Volts = 120 Watts

For automotive applications,

1Amp * 12 Volts = 12 Watts

An amp is a unit of electrical current that measures the flow of electric current. The formula for figuring how many amps in a watt is Amps = Watts/Volts..
