* Amps (A) measure electric current, the flow of electric charge.
* Watts (W) measure power, the rate at which energy is transferred or used.
To convert amps to watts, you need to know the voltage (V):
* Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) x Voltage (Volts)
Example:
If you have a device with a current of 0.1A and it's plugged into a 120V outlet, the power would be:
* Power = 0.1A * 120V = 12 Watts
Therefore, you need the voltage to calculate the wattage from a given amperage.
