How to convert Watts to Amps
Basics
You cannot convert watts to amps, since watts are power and amps are coulombs per
second (like converting apples to miles). If you have at least least two of the following three: amps, volts and watts then the
missing one can be calculated. Since watts are amps multiplied by volts, there is a simple relationship between them.
However, In some engineering disciplines the volts are more or less fixed, for example
in house wiring, automotive wiring, or telephone wiring. In these limited fields they often have charts that relate amps to
watts and this has confused people. What these charts should be titled is "conversion of amps to watts at a fixed voltage of
110 volts" or "conversion of watts to amps at 13.8 volts," etc.
The Following Equations can be used to convert
beween amps, volts, and watts.
Convert Watts to Amps (at a fixed
voltage)
Convert Amps to Watts (at a fixed
voltage)
Convert Watts to Volts (at a fixed
current)
Convert Volts to Watts (at a fixed
current)
Convert Volts to Amps (at a fixed
wattage)
Convert Amps to Volts (at a fixed
wattage)
Converting Watts
to Amps
The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts
For example 12
watts/12 volts = 1 amp
Converting Amps to
Watts
The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts
For example 1 amp *
110 volts = 110 watts
Converting Watts to
Volts
The conversion of Watts to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps
For example 100
watts/10 amps = 10 volts
Converting Volts to
Watts
The conversion of Volts to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts
For example 1.5
amps * 12 volts = 18 watts
Converting Volts to Amps at
fixed wattage
The conversion of Volts to Amps is governed by the equations Amps = Watts/Volts
For example 120
watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps
Converting Amps to Volts
at fixed wattage
The conversion of Amps to Volts is governed by the equation Volts = Watts/Amps
For Example, 48 watts / 12
Amps = 4 Volts
Explanation
Amps are how many electrons flow past a certain
point per second. Volts is a measure of how much force that each electron is under. Think of water in a hose. A gallon a minute
(think amps) just dribbles out if it is under low pressure (think voltage). But if you restrict the end of the hose, letting
the pressure build up, the water can have more power (like watts), even though it is still only one gallon a minute. In fact
the power can grow enormous as the pressure builds, to the point that a water knife can cut a sheet of glass. In the same
manner as the voltage is increased a small amount of current can turn into a lot of watts. |
