How do I convert Watts to Amperes

I checked on the site for a conversion of Watts to Amperes but could not find it. Could someone please help with that?
Thanks.

There is no conversion from Watts to Amperes.

A Watt is a unit of power (Work), An Ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor.

There is, however, a formula: Wattage is equal to the voltage (A unit of force) multiplied by the current.

Code:

W = VA

So: In order to convert Watts to Amperes:

Code:

W = VA

Code:

W = VA
-   --
V   V

Code:

W
- = A
V

You will need to divide the Wattage by the voltage.

The standard formula for calculating power (in watts) is easy as pie (a mental hook). The formula is

P = I E

where
P is the power in watts
I is the current in Amperes (not VA!)
E is the RMS voltage for AC (typically 115V from the wall socket)

If you are calculating using DC voltages, then you use the absolute voltage. ie: -12V dc use 12V since negative power does not make sense for what you are doing.

good luck
