How about "volts"? I don't think "amperes" is what you had in mind.
Here in America, we are resistant to change; period!
We are the only large country that has not embraced the metric system. The entire world uses 50 Hz 220 Volt power except for in the USA and a few other places.

How many amps does a 900 watt microwave oven use?
It won't run a microwave at all. Microwaves require an a.c. supply of 230 V (Europe) or 120 V (N America).
What continent is 40 north and 120 w in?
North America
What is the equivalent of 150 VA in amps?
"va" is volts x amps, so you need to know the volts to get the amps. If you're dealing with houshold power, the volts will be 120 or 240, depending on where you live.If it's North America, 150va will run 150/120 = 1.25 amps. In the EU it would be .625 amps.
How many volts does a North American outlet generates?
In Canada and the United States, wall outlet voltage is standardized at 110 to 120 volts (anywhere in that range is considered "OK"). In Europe - most of the rest of the world, actually - it is standardized at 220 volts.
What capacity generator do you need to produce 10 amps?
Small generators are sized in watts. Watts is the product of amps times volts. To properly answer this question a voltage for your 10 amps must be stated. That said small generator outputs are usually 120/240 volts in North America. So 10 amps at 120 volts equal 1200 watts. 10 amps at 240 volts equal 2400 watts. A 3000 watt generator will be amply for your 10 amp load.

What voltage is the kettle?
It depends where you bought it. In North America, its rated voltage will be 120 V whereas, in Europe, its rated voltage will be 230 V.
What is the amperage of the European electrical power systems versus that of North America?
In Europe, 230 V is the normal domestic supply whereas in the US it is 120 V. For an appliance of a certain power rating, the current taken will be inversely related to the voltage, by Ohm's Law, ie power = volts x amps. So the current at 230 V will be in the ratio 120/230 of that taken at 120 V
What continent is 40 north and 120 w in?
North America
Are 100 watt bulbs designed to be use on 250 volt supply?
250 V is not a nominal voltage used in Europe or in North America, although it may be elsewhere in the world. If so, then, yes, there will be 100-W lamps marketed for that particular voltage in that particular part of the world.The nominal voltage in Europe is 230 V and the nominal voltage (for lamps) in North America is 120 V. So, in Europe and North America, 100-W lamps are rated at 230 V and 120 V respectively.

How much electricity in a standard outlet?
In North America 120 volts, in the UK and Europe 240 volts.
What is 60 degrees north and 120 degrees west continent?

How many amps does a small table lamp with a 60 watt bulb use?
In North America the common working voltage for household appliances is 120 volts. In UK and Europe the common working voltage for household appliances is 240 volts.
