General Electrical Questions.

What do "amps" mean in electrical terms?

Amps, short for amperes, measure the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It represents the quantity of electrons passing through a point in the circuit per unit of time.

How do I convert amps to watts?

The conversion from amps to watts is achieved by multiplying the current (in amps) by the voltage (in volts). The formula is Watts = Amps × Volts.

What is the difference between DC and AC?

DC (direct current) flows in one direction, while AC (alternating current) changes direction periodically. AC is the standard for most household and industrial electricity distribution, while DC is commonly used in batteries and electronic devices.

How can I convert volts to watts?

The conversion from volts to watts is calculated using the formula Watts = Volts × Amps. Ensure you know the current (in amps) to accurately convert volts to watts.
