To determine the amperage in a circuit with a voltage of 120V and a frequency of 60Hz, you would need to know the power rating of the load connected to the circuit. Using Ohm's Law (I = P/V), where I is the current in amps, P is the power in watts, and V is the voltage in volts, you can calculate the amperage. Without knowing the power rating of the load, it is not possible to provide a specific amperage value for this circuit.

You may as well ask, 'How many metres are there in a kilogram?'! The ampere is used to measure current, while the volt is used to measure potential difference -they are different quantities, so you can't convert one to the other.

There are no amps until you connect something to it. The 120 volts is the potential power. Once you connect or plug something in that uses the power then it will draw current. For example if you hook up a 60 watt bulb to this circuit then it will draw 0.5 amps. (Watts / Volts = Amps)

To answer this question the wattage of the load has to be known. Then the formula that you would use would be I = W/E. Amps = Watts divided by Volt. This formula holds true for both 50 and 60 Hertz.

The current in the circuit would be 2 amps when using the formula P = VI, where P is power (in watts), V is voltage (in volts), and I is current (in amps).

780 watts / 120 volts = 6.5 amps
