You will need more information to determine this. An appliance should have a special tag or etching on their back/bottom (or some other inconvenient location) that states what the wattage is. Look for the part that gives the watts or as an alternative, the amps used in operation.

Assuming you are concerned about electricity usage, keep in mind that your power consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours, or 1000 x watt-hours.

Looking at the electrical definition of the watt (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt) one watt is defined to be 1 amp x 1 volt. Here is a sample calculation:

Assume your A/C takes 10.0 amps to operate at 120 volts of house current. That turns out to be 10.0 x 120 = 1,200 watts of energy, which is equivalent to 1.2 kilowatts. So, if you operate the A/C for 1 hour, you have consumed 1.2 kilowatt-Hours. If you operate this 10 amp A/C for 24-hours, you will consume 24 hours x 1.2 kilowatt = 28.8 kilowatt-hours in one day.

It depends on the size of the air conditioner. But an air conditioner along with all electrical equipment will use an amount of watts or kilowatts continuously. The energy used is measured in watt-hours or kilowatt-hours, in other words multiply the watts by the hours it is switched on.

Same as in a second, or in a century. A kilowatt is a unit of power, not of energy.

The answer will depend upon the size and efficiency of the unit, and how often the internal compressor runs, according to the amount of heat it needs to remove from the room.

How many watts does a iron consume in an hour?

A typical iron uses 1000 watts all the time the heating element is working. It is controlled by a thermostat so the element might be on for a quarter of the time. In an hour the iron might consume 250 watt-hours or 0.25 of a unit.


How many watts does a microwave consume in an hour?

Watts are units for measuring the rate of energy consumption. So it is meaningless to speak of how many watts something consumes in a length of time. (It would be like asking how many miles per hour a car drives in an hour.)Energy consumption may be measured in kilowatt-hours. A typical microwave consumes 1500 watts, which would be 1.5 kilowatt-hours in one hour.

How many watts per hour will a unit that is rated at DC 12V 500mA consume?

Power = volts x amps, so your example will be 12 x 0.5 = 6 watts. (500mA = 0.5 amp) Note we don't talk of 'watts per hour', it is just watts. 1 watt = 1 joule per second


How many kliowatt hours does a 120 watt fixture use in 1 hour?

One kilowatt hour (kWH) is the amount of power used at the rate of 1000 watts for one hour. Therefore a device of 120 watts running for one hour would consume 120 / 1000 x 1 = 0.12 kWH
