The wattage on a light bulb really is based on normal usage in a houshold 120 voly outlet. They build it with the proper resistance in the filiment so that at 120 volt it consumes the labeled watts. a 75 wat bulb has about 144 ohms resistane so if you put in a 120v socket it uses 75 watts

the watt measures power being consumed

Amps is the current flowing

voltage is the force causing current to flow. The find the , you need to know some of the facts. For example: to calculate the watts; we need to know the voltage and the current and use the formula:

Power(watts)= current(amps) X volts

also Volts= current X Resistance(ohms)

In your question; assuming the bulb is consuming 100w and the voltage is 220, them 4.54 amps is flowing

I hope this helps The question says 1000W, not 100W.

Although 1000W filament lamps certainly exist, the huge majority are discharge lamps, for which much of the comment above is wrong or irrelevant.

The comment about filament resistance should also be qualified by the fact that it is that resistance only at white heat - running temperature. At room temperature it is almost a dead short.

It is also worth mentioning that current (amps) is not consumed, only energy is and energy is what (watt) you pay for.

How many watts in one ampare?

The relationship between watts and amperes depends on the voltage in the circuit. The formula to convert amperes to watts is: Watts = Amperes × Volts. Therefore, one ampere corresponds to a varying number of watts depending on the voltage used in the calculation. For example, at 120 volts, one ampere equals 120 watts.


1000 watts rms consume how many kw?

"Watts RMS" is better represented as "Watts average". Since 1000 watts is 1kw you have "1000 watts average" and you can derive "1Kw average". So 1000 watts RMS will consume 1 Kw


If a kilowatt means 1000 watts how many kilowatts are there in 2675 watts?

To convert watts to kilowatts, you divide the number of watts by 1000. Therefore, 2675 watts is equal to 2.675 kilowatts (2675 ÷ 1000 = 2.675).
