What does volt ampere (V*A) measure?

Volt ampere (V*A) measures apparent power in AC electrical circuits, combining voltage and current without considering phase angle.

Why convert volt ampere to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting to calorie (th)/minute helps interpret electrical apparent power as thermal energy transfer, useful in calorimetry, physiology, and food science.

Does this conversion consider power factor?

No, the conversion treats volt ampere as a power unit directly equivalent to calorie (th)/minute without adjusting for power factor effects.
