  • car battery volts and amps are the same

  • electrons does not flow in a wire. electrons only change the property of a material when a potential difference change into a wave. instead of electrons randomly moving around you have electrons forming a coherent alignment but under constant change. there is no potential difference (volt) in a load. its the direction of field that is created in the conductor that is the direction of the current.

  • Amps are the total amount of electrons flowing past a given point. For a full description of what amps, volts and watts are, just look at a few of my videos. Kinda long running but absolutely descriptive.

  • wow a 10amp computer thats a lot of cpus and gpu and hdds rofl i have a 400amp service computer im useing right now is pulling 2amps

  • "Sorry, you cant come, we're out of amps" :p

  • Guys remember that computer system's power supplies only convert the 10 amps your power cord is bringing into the power supply into wattages that your computer components can use. It still draws 10 amps, but only uses ~3-8, depending on your power supply.

  • even if it draws 500 watts then it's only 4 . some odd amps.

  • Couldn't you simply Google search Amperage?

  • Well, I thought just a GPU took up more than 20 amps...

  • 110 V * 10 A = 1100VA = 1100 W

    Pretty serious rigs on that lan party ;)
