That depends on the voltage. One amp flowing at a potential of 1 volt produces 1 watt of power (equal to an energy consumption of 1 joule per second). 4 amps flowing at a voltage of 250 volts produces a kilowatt of power. This would be enough to satisfy the individual needs of a lot of the electrical equipment around the house.

It depends on the voltage of the circuit. In a 1-volt circuit, 1 amp is equal to 1 watt. In a 10-volt circuit, 0.1 amp is equal to 1 watt. Ohm's Law (P = IV) can be used to calculate the relationship between amperes, watts, and volts in a circuit.
In a 240V system, 1 kW is equal to approximately 4.17 amps. This calculation is done by dividing the power in watts (1000 watts for 1 kW) by the voltage (240V) in the system.
1 amp
There are zero amps in 18000 kilowatts. A watt is the produce of amps times volts. With out a voltage stated the calculation can not be made. When the voltage is stated, the following equation should be used, I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. Remember 1000 watts is equal to 1 kW.
1 KW = 1000 Watts.......1 mW = .001 Watt.......1 microwatt or uW = .000001 Watt
The voltage delivering 1 watt depends on how many amps are present. We use watts to measure power (P), and amps (I) times volts (E) equals watts. We sometimes see the equation P = I x E written to express this relationship. Let's look at a couple of instances. If we have 1 amp times 1 volt, we'll get 1 watt. But 1/2 amp times 2 volts also equals 1 watt. Likewise, 10 amps times 0.1 volts equals 1 watt. Or 0.001 amps times 1,000 volts (1 milliamp times 1 kilovolt) equals 1 watt. As you can see, it is a combination of voltage and current that gives us wattage (power), and any voltage you can imagine can be used to get one watt of power when you have the correct current (amperage).
