Question

How many watts is 2.4 amps?

Answer 1

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

\[ \text{Watts} = \text{Amps} \times \text{Volts} \]

If you have the voltage, you can plug it into the formula. For example, if the voltage is 120V:

\[ \text{Watts} = 2.4 \, \text{amps} \times 120 \, \text{volts} = 288 \, \text{watts} \]

If the voltage is different, just substitute that value in. Let me know if you have a specific voltage in mind!

Answer 2

To convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage (V) of the circuit, as the relationship between these quantities is defined by the formula:

\[
\text{Power (Watts)} = \text{Current (Amps)} \times \text{Voltage (Volts)}
\]

So, if you have a current of 2.4 amps, the power in watts can be calculated based on the voltage used.

### Common Voltage Levels:
1. **For a 120V circuit (common in North America)**:
   \[
   \text{Power} = 2.4 \, \text{amps} \times 120 \, \text{volts} = 288 \, \text{watts}
   \]

2. **For a 230V circuit (common in Europe)**:
   \[
   \text{Power} = 2.4 \, \text{amps} \times 230 \, \text{volts} = 552 \, \text{watts}
   \]

### Summary:
- If the voltage is **120V**, then **2.4 amps** is **288 watts**.
- If the voltage is **230V**, then **2.4 amps** is **552 watts**.

To find the exact wattage for your situation, simply multiply the 2.4 amps by the specific voltage of your circuit.
