A half of an amp equals 500 mA.

<<>>

ma or mA means milliAmp or milliAmpere. As milliAmpere and Ampere are related as: 1mA = 1*10^-3 A = 0.001 A, so you can express 500 ma as 500*0.001 A = 0.5 A. See relarted linksbelow.

You can't convert units of power to units of current - those are different things. They are related as follows:

Watts = volts x amperes

This is assuming DC; in AC there are some additional complication:

Watts = volts x amperes x power factor

However, the power factor is often close to 1.

To convert milliamps (mA) to watts (W), you need to know the voltage. If the voltage is 1 volt, then 500mA is equal to 0.5 watts (since Watts = Volts x Amps). If the voltage is different, you would need to multiply the voltage by the amperage in order to calculate the power in watts.
