The formula you are loking for is W = E xE/R.

<<>>

The question is a little vague, but assuming you mean that the 120 volts is measured across the portion of the circuit having the 0.5 ohm resistance, then the answer is 28,800W dissipated in that resistance. The basic formula for power dissipation is current (measured in Amperes) X electromotive force (measured in Volts). We typically write this as P = IV or sometimes P=IE, where P represents power in Watts, I represents current in Amps, and V or E represent electromotive force in Volts. In the example cited in your question, we have the voltage, but we don't have the current. Since we do know the resistance, though, we can calculate the current from ohms law, which states that the voltage will always equal the product of resistance and current. We write this as V = IR, where V and I are voltage and current as above, and R represents resistance in Ohms. We can manipulate this expression to give us the current from voltage and resistance as I = V/R. Now we plug this expression into our power expression by substituting V/R in place of I.

P = IV becomes P = (V/R)V. Which we clean up to get P = V^2/R, where V^2 means the square of the voltage.

So, using this expression for the example we get P = 120*120 / 0.5 = 28,800W. :-)

power = v x I

120 X 25

3000W,

1KW=1000W SO,3000 DIVIDED BY 1000

3000/1000=3KW,IT WILL DRAW 3KW THAT 25AMP 120V CIRCUIT...

The answer is 120 x 12.5 watts. In practice it could be less depending on the power factor.

The equation that you are looking for is W = A x V.

How many watt in amp?

It's watts divided by volts equals amps. Example: 1200 watts at 120 volts is 10 amps. To get the watts if you know the amps, multiply the amps times the volts. 10 amps at 120 volts is 1200 watts.


How many amps is 700 Watts at 120 volts?

5.8 amps


How many amps does one light use?

You just have to divide the watts by the voltage to find the amps. For example 60 watts on a 120 v system would take &frac12; amp.


How many amps is 1700 watts at 120volts?

1700/120 is 14.169 amps


How many amps does 320 watts equal?

On a 120 v supply 320 watts is 320/120 amps, or 2.667 amps. On a 240 v supply the current is 320/240 amps, or 1.333 amps.


How many watts does 100 amps at 120 v?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many amps are 1720 watts at 120 volts?

The formula you are looking for is I =W/E. Or Amps = Watts/Volts.


How many amps are in 87 watts?

On a 120 v supply 87 watts is 87/120 amps, while on a 240 v supply 87 watts is 87/240 amps. &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; There are zero amps in 87 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage value for the following equation I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts, an answer can not be given.


How many watts in 40 amps?

I t depends. Watts = Amps times volts. 40 amps x 120 volts =4800 watts or 40 Amps x 12 volts = 480 watts.


How many watts is in 2 amps?

It depends on the voltage.Amps times volts equal watts


How many amps does a 50 watt bulb use?

You just have to divide the watts by the voltage to find the amps. For example 60 watts on a 120 v system would take &frac12; amp.


120 volts plus 500 watts equals how many amps?

The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
