You don't. Othewise your local power company could charge you for 1,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity used by your 120 volt outlet that doesn't have anything plugged into it.

Volts and Kilowatts are different. no comparison can be drawn in respect to a straight conversion.
There can be no answer for this without knowing how strong a resistor is involved. (Ohms)
A three wire home distribution service rated at 100 amps has a wattage capacity of;From L1 to L2 at 240 volts x 100 amps = 24000 watts or 24 kilowatts. From L1 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts. From L2 to neutral at 120 volts x 100 amps = 12000 watts or 12 kilowatts.
There is zero kilowatts in 1 volt.The formula for this sort of thing is Watts = Amps x Volts (WAVe). All else being equal, more amps means either fewer volts or more watts, more volts is similar, more watts means more amps or more volts, and fewer of the above produces opposite results.It's like d = rt, or distance = rate X time. At 50 MPH for 1 1/2 hours, you have gone 75 miles. Faster, and you would have gone farther; slower would be shorter. Longer time would mean more distance, while less time is less distance. So the answer is...
A part of it The two terms are not directly related to each other. Watts or power is the actual energy your appliances utilize to operate. Amps are the current or flow of electrons between two points. Kilowatts are watts x1000. So for example 1000 watts is one kilowatt. Watts are derived from ohms law or a part of it anyway. P is v.I or amps times volts equals watts. A ten amp breaker at 120 volts in your electrical panel has a potential of 1200 watts or 1.2 kilowatts.
