How many watts in a amp?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The relationship between watts and amps depends on the voltage. For a direct current (DC) system, the formula is Watts = Amps x Volts. Therefore, to convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage of the system.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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..
