Question

What is 5 amps in watts?

Answer 1

To convert amps (A) to watts (W), you need to know the voltage (V) in the circuit. The formula is:

\[
\text{Watts (W)} = \text{Amps (A)} \times \text{Voltage (V)}
\]

So, if you have 5 amps, you'll need the voltage value to calculate the watts.

For example:
- If the voltage is 120V, then:  
  \[
  \text{W} = 5 \, \text{A} \times 120 \, \text{V} = 600 \, \text{W}
  \]
- If the voltage is 230V, then:  
  \[
  \text{W} = 5 \, \text{A} \times 230 \, \text{V} = 1150 \, \text{W}
  \]

So, the watts depend on the voltage. Do you have a specific voltage in mind?
