How many volts in an amp?

Answer 1

What you are asking is kinda like asking how many Oranges in an apple

Voltage is the measure of electrical potential

Amps is the measure of electrical quantity

a good illustration is a water pipe, you can have high pressure (volts) but unless the water is allowed to flow the quantity of water is zero. (amps)

Answer 2

Volts and amps are separate units of measurement in electricity. Volts measure the electrical potential difference, while amps measure electrical current. They are related by Ohm's Law, which states that voltage equals current multiplied by resistance (V = I x R).

Answer 3

The question doesn't make sense. Watts are the product of volts and amps so you could have 1 V with a current of 1 amp = 1 watt or 10V and a current of 0.1 amps = 1 watt or 100V and a current of 0.01 amps = 1 watt etc.

Answer 4

A volt does not have an amp rating. You need a resistance value together to compute the amps. Ohm's law (V = IR) or I times R = Volts (V=volts, I = amps and R = resistance). I = V/R or Amps = Volts divided by the Resistance

Answer 5

Here is a similar way to look at electricity using water.

Take a tank of water and raise it up 1 meter. The tank of water now has pressure to deliver a supply of water through a hose . Electrical pressure is measured in Volts(height of tank) Electrical current passes through wires and resistors(hoses of different diameter. Amps are a measure of current flow ( amount of water flowing through pipe). Now take 1 Volt, pass an electric current of 1 amp through a resistance of 1 Ohm. and you have Ohm's law. Volts=Current(in Amps) x Resistance Resistance (in Ohms) = Volts/ Current Current =Volts/Resistance

A 12 volt battery and a 24 Ohm resistor will supply 0.5 Amps V/R= I(Current in Amps)

Answer 6

If 'amps' and 'volts' were just different multiples of the same thing, there would be

no need for two different names.

The question is a lot like asking "How many yards are in 1 week ?"

"Volts" is a measure of the electrical 'pressure' between two points, that makes

current want to flow between them.

"Amps" is a measure of how much current actually flows as a result of the volts.

It depends on what's between the two points.

For example, if there's a pressure of some volts between two points, there could be

almost no current ... zero amps ... if there's nothing between the points to carry

current, or there could be very large current ... many amps ... if you connect a copper

wire between them, or accidentally drop your screwdriver or wrench across them.

Answer 7

There are zero volts in one amp. To find volts use the following formula;

E = I x R ,V = A x R

E = W/I, V = W/A

E = sq rt W x R, V = sq root of W x R.

Answer 8

WATT is a unit of power and it is always according to the load.

so it is not correct to ask how many watts in one volt.

kindly mention some more details

Answer 9

There are zero volts in 1.5 amps. You need to know the resistance to determine the voltage. Two of three variables are needed.
