How many volts is 136 amps?

Answer 1

Volts and Amps are measurements of different things. Volts can be viewed as similar to pressure in water, where Amps can be equated to the volume of water that flows in a hose.

So a battery with a circuit connected can be considered in terms of a water tank with a hose attached. The Tank provides potential energy as water pressure (Volts in the battery), the hose in the circuit which will allow current to flow when switched on (Current in Amps in an electric circuit.

The size of the hose (Resistance in an electric circuit) as well as the water pressure will determine how much water will flow, (Current).

So you can have Voltage with no current - Full water tank but taps closed, but you can't have current with out voltage - If the tank is empty (battery flat) no water can flow.

The relationship between Volts (V), Amps (I) and Resistance (R) is called Ohms Law and is as follows:

V = I x R

So if in the circuit the resistance was 1 Ohm then 136 Amps would require a voltage source of 136 x 1 = 136 Volts, however if the resistance of the circuit was 10 Ohms the the voltage source would be 136 x 10 = 1,360 Volts.
