There is no direct conversion between amperes (A) and volts (V) because they measure different things:
To relate the two, we use Ohm's Law, which states:
\[
V = I \times R
\]
Where:
From this, we can rearrange the formula to find current (\( I \)):
\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\]
So, the current in amperes depends on both the voltage and the resistance of the circuit. If you know the voltage (in volts) and the resistance (in ohms), you can calculate the current (in amperes).
- Volts (V) measure electrical potential or voltage, which is the pressure that pushes electric charge through a circuit.
- Amperes (A) measure current, which is the flow of electric charge.
To relate the two, we use Ohm's Law, which states:
\[
V = I \times R
\]
Where:
- \( V \) is the voltage in volts (V),
- \( I \) is the current in amperes (A),
- \( R \) is the resistance in ohms (Ī©).
From this, we can rearrange the formula to find current (\( I \)):
\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\]
So, the current in amperes depends on both the voltage and the resistance of the circuit. If you know the voltage (in volts) and the resistance (in ohms), you can calculate the current (in amperes).
