  • Utilize this tool within electrical engineering and physics analyses to maintain consistency with SI units.

Limitations

  • The conversion presumes ideal conditions where voltage equals power divided by current.
  • Real-world factors such as power factor and resistance are not accounted for in this conversion.
  • This tool does not reflect variations caused by complex circuit characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 1 volt equal to 1 watt per ampere?
Because both units represent electric potential and are dimensionally equivalent, 1 volt corresponds exactly to 1 watt per ampere by definition.

When should I use watt per ampere instead of volt?
Watt per ampere is useful when expressing voltage based on known power and current, such as in power supply design and circuit analysis.

Does this conversion consider real electrical conditions like resistance?
No, this conversion assumes ideal conditions and does not account for factors like resistance or power factor that influence actual voltage.

Key Terminology

Volt [V]
The SI derived unit of electric potential difference, equal to one joule of energy per coulomb of electric charge.
Watt per ampere [W/A]
A derived SI unit of electric potential defined as one watt of power delivered per ampere of current; dimensionally the same as a volt.
Electric Potential
The capacity of an electric field to do work on electric charges, commonly measured in volts.
Electromotive Force
The voltage generated by a source that drives electric current through a circuit.
