are amps the same as volts
Amps, volts, and watts are all ways of measuring different aspects of electricity. An ampere, or amp (A or I, for current), is the amount of current in a circuit, while voltage (V) is the strength of the current as it flows through the circuit, and watts (W) are the total electrical power released by circuit per second. To get the power in watts, you need to know the instantaneous voltage with time, v(t), and the instantaneous current with time, i(t). When you multiply these together, you get the instantaneous power with time, p(t). The apparent power in VA is used to simplify power ratings, making it easier to calculate current draw. Since VA = RMS volts x RMS amps, you can divide the VA rating by your RMS voltage to get the RMS current the device will draw. Watts = Volts x Amps x k(one unit length of wire) Since the length of your PDA's wire inside the battery casing is difficult to know (unless you open the casing) let's just use a more common formula for Watts: (NOTE: DO NOT OPEN YOUR BATTERY'S CASING, EXTREME HARM WILL COME TO YOU) Watts = Volts x Amps. The voltage is the difference between the motion in point a and b. The current, or amps, is the speed of the motion through the wire. The shape of the circuit determines the speed at which the motion will travel from point a to b. Electricity is no different than two cans with a string between them. How to convert amps to watts. How to convert electric current in amps (A) to electric power in watts (W). You can calculate watts from amps and volts. You can't convert amps to watts since watts and amps units do not measure the same quantity. DC amps to watts. AC single phase amps to watts. AC three phase amps to watts. The apparent power for dc circuits is simply the voltage (Vdc) times the current (Idc): VA = Vdc x Idc (3) The apparent power for dc circuits is the same as real power for dc circuits (for dc, VA = W). For ac circuits, VA are the product of the RMS voltage (VRMS) times the RMS current (IRMS): In the case of PDA Batteries, a milliAmp hour (mAh) is most commonly used notation system. Note that 1000 mAh is the same a 1 Ah. (Just as 1000mm equals 1 meter.) Note that Amp hours do not dictate the flow of electrons at any given moment, that is the role of volts. PDA batteries with a 1 Amp hour rating could deliver ½ Amp of current for 2 hours, or they could provide 2 Amps of current for ½ hour. VA = Watts (DC current). In AC if the volts and amps are in phase (for example a resistive load) then the equation is also. VA=Watts (resistive load) where V is the RMS voltage and A the RMS amperage. In AC, the volts and amps are not always in phase (meaning that the peak of the voltage curve is does not happen at the peak of the current curve). Think of pushing a swing. The greatest force is applied when the swing stops at the peak, but the greatest velocity is at the bottom of the arc. This article will attempt to find out difference between amps and volts. One equation that connects all three basic properties of a substance that allows flow of electricity is as follows. V = I x r = Ir. Here V is the voltage, ‘I’ is the flow of current in amps, and r is the resistance of the body. Thus it is clear that voltage is the product of the amount of current flowing in a body and its resistance or in other words, current (amps) is the voltage divided by the resistance of the body.
No, amps and volts are all ways of measuring different aspects of electricity.
