Convert
Converting Watts to Amps:
Amps = Watts/Volts Example: 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp
Converting Amps to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts Example: 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts
Converting Watts to Volts:
Volts = Watts/Amps Example: 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts
Converting Volts to Watts:
Watts = Amps x Volts Example: 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts
Converting Volts to Amps at fixed wattage:
Amps = Watts/Volts Example: 120 watts/110 volts = 1.09 amps
Converting Amps to Volts at fixed wattage:
Volts = Watts/Amps 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.
