In general, increased resistance will lower current draw.

See ohm's law (V = IR)

What is the voltage rating of a resistor having power of 1500W?

There are zero volts in 1500 watts. Watts are the product of amps times volts. Without a voltage or amperage stated, an answer can not be given. W = Amps x Volts.


How do you convert watts into amperes?

To convert watts into amperes you divide the circuit voltage into the watts. Amps = Watts/Volts. <<>> Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Converting Amps to Watts The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts Converting Watts to Volts The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts Converting Volts to Watts The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts For example 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps For Example, 48 watts / 12 Amps = 4 Volts Explanation Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute (think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think low voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts.


How many volts in a watt?

It depends on how many Amps (current) are applied to the voltage. Watt = Volts x Amps. e.g. 12 volts @ 5 amps = 60 watts


A 14 volt lightbulb is equal to how many watts?

If you have 14 watts, you have 14 watts of power. We measure electromotive force (EMF), which is commonly called voltage, in volts. EMF (voltage) is the force that will drive electron current flow, which is measured in amps. Simply put, power is current times voltage, or, said another way, watts is amps times volts. If you have 14 watts, you could have 14 amps at 1 volt, 7 amps at 2 volts, 2 amps at 7 volts, or any other combination of current and voltage with a product of 14. You may have picked up that because watts is amps times volts, we can say that a watt is a volt-amp. Extending that thinking, 14 watts is 14 volt-amps. There is no way to write 14 watts in volts, at least not without having a bit more information.


How many milliamps in 48.8 watts?

Milli amps is a measure of current whilst watt is a measure of power. The missing element is voltage as the formula is:- Power = Voltage * Amps ie power in Watts is the product of Volts (in Volts) times Amps (in Amps)

In a 12 volt solar panel which produces 170 watts equals how many amps?

To find the amperage produced by a 170 watt, 12 volt solar panel, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. In this case, 170 watts / 12 volts = 14.17 amps.


How many amps kW?

Wattage- or kilowattage- is volts time amps. Without knowing the voltage, we cannot answer your questions.


How many 12 kw is in amps?

There are zero kilowatts in amps. A voltage value has to be supplied before an answer can be given. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts = 12000/Volts. Alternatively, you could state the resistance, from which the amps are determined from P/R = I2.


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.


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


What does 1500 watts equal in amps at 120 volts?

To convert watts to amps at 120 volts, use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. For 1500 watts at 120 volts, the calculation would be: 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 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.


How many Watts are in 730 amps?

There are zero watts in 730 amps. Watts is the product of amps times volts. As you can see without a voltage no answer can be given.


Using 120 volts at 12 amps is the same power as what amps at 220 volts?
