Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.

Amps (A) measure electrical current flow, while volt-amps (VA) measure apparent power in an electrical circuit, which is the combination of both real power (measured in watts) and reactive power. Essentially, amps refer to current, while volt-amps refer to total power.
