Enter the energy in joules, voltage in volts, and time in seconds into the calculator to determine the current in amps. This calculator helps in converting energy (joules) to electric current (amps) given the voltage and time.

Joules To Amps Formula

The following formula is used to convert joules to amps.

I = frac{E}{V times t}

Variables:

  • I is the current (amps)
  • E is the energy (joules)
  • V is the voltage (volts)
  • t is the time (seconds)

To convert joules to amps, divide the energy in joules by the product of voltage in volts and time in seconds.

What is the Relationship Between Joules and Amps?

Joules is a unit of energy, while amps measure electric current. The relationship between them involves voltage and time. Energy in joules can be converted to electric current in amps by knowing the voltage and the time over which the energy is delivered. This relationship is crucial in electrical engineering and physics for understanding how electrical energy is converted into work.

How to Calculate Current in Amps from Energy in Joules?

The following steps outline how to calculate the current in amps from energy in joules.


  1. First, determine the energy (E) in joules.
  2. Next, determine the voltage (V) in volts.
  3. Next, determine the time (t) in seconds.
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = I = E / (V * t).
  5. Finally, calculate the current (I) in amps.
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem :

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Energy (E) = 500 joules

Voltage (V) = 220 volts

Time (t) = 10 seconds
