Watts = Amps x Voltage x Power Factor

Hence to compute watts you need to know voltage and power factor. If you have a pure resistive load like a light bulb power factor = 1 and can thus be ignored. If you are asking about residential power, the voltage is 120 VAC so the computation is now trivial.

One ampere is equal to one watt in a system with a voltage of one volt. This relationship stems from Ohm's Law (P = V x I), where power (P) in watts is equal to voltage (V) in volts multiplied by current (I) in amperes.
