Multiply the amperage times the volts. This will give you the wattage.
There are 2 formulas that are, together, considered Ohm's Law. They are:
E(volts) equals I(amps) times R(resistance), and
P(power, or watts) equals I(amps) times E(volts), which is what is stated above.
From these two formulas and with the application of algebraic manipulation you get a total of 12 equations that can be used to determine most answers to technical electrical questions.

There are lots of different units for electricity, depending what aspect you want to measure (power, energy, current, voltage, frequency, etc.).For a power plant, some relevant units include: * Volt, for voltage * Ampere, for current * Watt, for power * Hertz, for frequency
Which following? SI units are the meter, the Celsius, the kilogram, the candela, the Pascal, the joule and the ampere.
Current is rate of flow of charge, so 1 ampere = 1 coulomb per second. As ampere and seconds are both fundamental units (and coulomb is derived), a coulomb has the dimensions [current][time] i.e. As
It is common to see each of the examples used. However the technically correct way is kVA.AnswerFollowing the conventions of SI for compound units, a dot should be placed between the 'V' and the 'A', above base level: that is: kV.AThe symbols for units named in honour of individuals are always capitalised, so the symbol for volt is 'V', and the symbol for ampere is 'A'.Having said that, the symbol generally used for reactive volt amperes is var. So I suppose one could argue as neither the volt ampere or reactive volt ampere are really SI units, then they don't really have to follow SI conventions!
The Ampere is the unit of electric current. It depends upon a voltage in order for it to occur, and the Volt is that unit. The Ohm is the unit of resistance and represents the difficulty of moving the electrons by the voltage.
