n/a. that is like asking "24 feet are equal to how many pounds?" they are totally different units of measurement. one is analagous to electrical pressure, and the other, the amount going through the pipe.

To answer the question there are zero watts in 12 volts.

See you are speaking of volts, this means you have a potential difference of 12 volts between the two terminals of the battery. Now the output power will depend on the resistor or the impedance which you are using or connecting it. That means you are applying 12 volts to your circuit now by ohm's law.

voltage = current * resistance. and power = (current)2 * resistance

so firstly you have to find the current through the circuits and then only you can find the power in watts

V (volts) = I (Amp) * R (ohms)

P (Watts) = I2 * R

A watt is a unit of energy. You can't work out the wattage of a circuit from voltage alone, you also need to know the current (in amps).

so... Watts = Volts x Amps

There is no exact answer to this question, it depends on the load, and its not exactly linear. Assuming you are talking about a lead acid automotive battery, it might be able to deliver two or three thousand watts for several seconds, or 100 watts for several hours.

The capacity of an automotive battery is rated in ampere hours; you can multiply by 12 to get a rough approximation of the watt hour energy capacity.

Watts is an instantaneous value computed as Amps x Volts x Power Factor. When discussing the capacity of a battery you are normally interested in how much current is being drawn by the load; or you are interested in over what period of time the battery can deliver a fixed wattage. This value is known as watt hours or for smaller batteries milliwatt hours.

The formula for watts is amps times volts. The amperage value needed is the amperage of the connected load. If the connected load required 10 amps then the wattage load from the battery would be 12 x 10 = 120 watts. Batteries are rated in amp/hours and not watts. This means that if the battery is rated at 500 amp hours it could produce 1 amp for 500 hours, or in our case 10 amps for 50 hours.

Just think of West Virginia, or W VA. Watts = Volts x Amps. You'll need two values to get the third.

While volts and watts are both terms related to electric current, they refer to different aspects of electric current. Unfortunately, this means that you cannot convert from volts to watts in the same way you would miles to kilometres.

However, if you know the ampere of the current you can calculate the number of watts by multiplying the voltage by the amps.

There are no volts in amps. If you think of electricity as water in a pipe, voltage is the pressure and amps is how fast the water flows. Without voltage, there are no amps. But voltage alone doesn't produce amps unless there is a circuit for the current to flow.

Amps and volts are two different things. Think of volts as the pressure behind the flow and amps as the volume of the flow. The amps is determined by dividing the voltage by the resistance I=E/R where I is current or amps, E = voltage, and R is the resistance to the flow of current. an example 12 volts with a 10 ohm resistance will produce 1.2 amps 12 volts with 20 ohms resistance will produce 0.6 amps

Watts measure how fast it can supply energy. If the battery supplies 1 amp, it provides 24 Joules per second. at 5 amps, it supplies 120 Joules per second.

The power equals the voltage times the current, and then the energy supplied equals the power times the time.

The VA or volt-amps applied to alternating current systems and is the voltage multiplied by the current. In some cases the power in watts is less than the VA by a factor called the power factor.

A small induction motor might have a power factor of 0.75 which means that if it's running at 250 v and 4 amps, the load is 1000 VA but only 750 watts.

Voltage and Amperage are two completely separate units. One doesn't depend on the other. Here is good analogy that shows the relationship between the two: Imagine electricity is a wave upon the ocean. Voltage represents the height of the wave, while Amperage represents the speed at which the wave is moving.

There are a couple factors that limit how many Amps you can "draw", but the real number of Amps can be anywhere between 0 and that number. The limiting factors are: the maximum Amp output from your power source (will usually trip a fuse if more is being drawn then can be supplied), and what size (gauge) wire you are using (wire will smoke and get REALLY hot).

If you are using a power supply, (for a laptop or battery charger) the max Amperage is usually on the label. In terms of wire size if you are using more then 2 Amps you will want 10 gauge wire at least. 12 gauge or bigger if over 20 Amps.

Depends on the Amps;- AMPS X VOLTS = WATTS

You can't convert watts to volts. You need to use the power equation along with a current or resistance measurement.
