Convert volt • ampere to joules / second

Learn how to convert 1 volt • ampere to joules / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = x (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = 0.8 (w a t t) = 0.8 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = x (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.8 \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.8 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.8 \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

0.8 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

0.8 = x

Switch sides

x = 0.8

Solve

x

x = 8 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = 8 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d})
