Voltage. A dimmer usaly chops the sine wave, leting it pass after a while.
Another answerThe dimmer effectively becomes another device in the circuit. It effectively becomes a series circuit, therefore the voltage to the dimmed lights will be reduced in proportion with the relative position of the dimmer switch.HOWEVER...
there is such a thing as "pulse width modulation" dimmers. They are typically used for devices that need full voltage but but you need to reduce output... such as fluorescent lights some fans and many other motors.
Most dimmers are resistance type dimmers since the pulse width modulation dimmers are far more expensive.

How can we reduce kw in equipments?
Watts is the product of amps times volts. Reduce either or both of these values will reduce the overall wattage output in a resistive circuit.
How many volts it takes to cause a current of 1.95 amps to exist in a 200 watt lamp?
The formula to calculate the relationship between amps, volts and watts is Volts X Amps = Watts or Volts = Watts / Amps or Amps = Watts / Volts therefore; 200 Watts divided by 1.95 Amps is 102.5641 Volts.
How many amps DC is 12 volts 1.5 amps at 5 volts?
You have your own answer. It is 1.5 amps.
How many amps with 70 watts 13.8 Volts dc?
Watts = Volts * Amps Therefore: 70 Watts / 13.8 Volts = 5.07 Amps
Does 50 amps rated at 240 volts equal 100 amps rated at 120 volts?
When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.
I'm using a 18.5 volts 3.5 amps charger to charge a 12 volts battery I want to reduce voltage to 15 volts and current to about or a little less than 2 amps How to reduce charging current and voltage?
You need a regulator.

If voltage is 12 volts and ohms is 0.5 how many amps in circuit?
Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, or Amps = Volts / Ohms 12 volts / 0.5 ohms = 24 amps
4 volts is a many watts?
4 volts and how many amps? Watts = amps x volts. It depends on the amount of current (in Amps) flowing at 4 Volts... See Ohms Law: Watts = Volts x Amps If you have 2 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 8 Watts. If you have 10 Amps flowing at 4 Volts you are dissipating/consuming 40 Watts.
Using 120 volts at 12 amps is the same power as what amps at 220 volts?
6 amps.
How many amps at 120 volts equals 16 amps at 12 volts?
160 amps at 12v.
How many amps at 12 volts equals 16 amps at 120 volts?
160 amps at 12v.
How many amps DC is 12 volts 1.5 amps at 5 volts?

Watts = Volts * Amps Therefore: 70 Watts / 13.8 Volts = 5.07 Amps
How many amps are in ohms?
It's not that simple. The basic formula is Volts / Ohms = Amps. For 30 Volts you'd get 0.5 Amps, for 60 Volts you'd get 1 Amp, for 120 Volts you'd get 2 Amps.
Does 50 amps rated at 240 volts equal 100 amps rated at 120 volts?
When you multiply amps x volts the product is watts. Using this formula W = Amps x Volts should give you your answer.
