@kijifled2 in an AC (IE mains) circuit yes you include power factor even then it is for NON RESISTIVE loads (eg transformers and older flouro "strip" lamps) but for DC (car batteries etc) you dont need the power factor
THANK YOU!!! I've been trying to understand it for a damn long time now... Basically volts are like the pressure in the garden hose and the water is the amps. You can still have the dame volume coming out as if the water was on but the when the pressure is on full it is the volts that go up....
very nice

Nooo watts is not volts times amps! Volts times amps times power factor is watts. Voltamps are volts times amps.

see, actually the potential-pressure(voltage) is the same, but the flow(current) is being limited by the water-valve(resistor).
