It stands for 40 volt-amperes (Volts times amps) and is a measure of power. It is equivalent to watts for a resistive load.
Watts are a unit of power. So 40 watts of power to an LED are the same as 40 watts of power to a fluorescent. Sometimes LEDs are rated in equivalent watts which is an attempt to relate watts to brightness or lumens. You need to compare lumens and the "temperature" of the bulbs in Kelvin to get the comparison I think you are looking for.
The electrical code states that circuit conductors that are fed by this breaker on a continuous load can only be loaded to 80%. Therefore you can have a load of 1,920 watts on this circuit. Assuming you install 8 watt bulbs you can have 240 on this circuit.
volts times amps equals watts, a measure of power. Amps times hours equals amp-hours, a measure of electric charge. Electric charge times voltage is energy. So 120 volts at 10 amps for 4 hours would pass 40 amp-hours of charge, the power would be 1200 watts and the energy would be 4800 watt-hours or 4.8 kilowatt-hours. So volts times amp-hours equals energy in watt-hours.
Depends on the amperage of the Jacuzzi and if it is 120 or 240 volts.
I t depends. Watts = Amps times volts. 40 amps x 120 volts =4800 watts or 40 Amps x 12 volts = 480 watts.
That depends on circuit voltage. 1 watt is equal to 1 volt times 1 amp.
Watts equal volts times amps, which is 40 x 0.5 or 20 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.
Amps is a measurement of current. Watts (or kilowatts) is a measure of power. To get the power from the current, you have to know the electrical potential or volts used to produce the current. Amps × Volts = Watts (or Current × Electrical Potential = Power). Incidentally, a kilowatt is 1000 watts, so you'll have to divide your answer by 1000. e.g. if your volts is 40, then 25 amps × 40 volts = 1000 watts. 1000 watts (divided by 1000) is 1kw or kilowatt.
Watts are a unit of power and Volts are a unit of electric potential, so they cannot be directly compared. However, Watts and Volts can be related byWatts = Volts * AmperesorWatts = (Volts^2) / Ohmswhere Amperes are a unit of current and Ohms are a unit of resistance. So, for example, if a lightbulb draws .333 Amps of current at 120 Volts, it is a 40 Watt bulb. (.333 A * 120 V = 40 W)
To calculate the amperage of a 40-watt bulb, you need to use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If the bulb operates at 120 volts (standard for US households), the amperage will be 0.33 amps (40 watts / 120 volts).
No Because 40+40 is 80 watts.
To calculate the resistance of a 40 watt bulb, you need to know the voltage it operates at. You can use the formula P = V^2 / R, where P is power (40 watts) and V is voltage. Without voltage information, the resistance cannot be determined.
It stands for 40 volt-amperes (Volts times amps) and is a measure of power. It is equivalent to watts for a resistive load.
40 watts
40 VA is the apparent power of the load. It is simply the applied voltage multiplied by the resulting current in amperes. Given the VA and the Volts merely divide the VA by the volts to get I=VA/A = 40VA/24V= 1.667 Amperes rms. Andy B
