Appliance Watts/Amps Calculator Electricity is measured in units of energy called watts, named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. Watts is generally defined as the amount of power (or energy) an appliance uses (consumes) when operated at its maximum capacity for 1 hour.Amps on the other hand is defined as how much energy an appliance draws, or the rate of energy that flows through wire when an appliance is used for 1 hour.ou can determine power characteristics of an appliance if watts rating is not provided, by the following equation: V (Volts) X A (Amps) = Watts (Ohm's Law) A=W/V V=W/A To determine Amps consumed by a 25watt 12V light bulb, for example, use the equation A=W/V or (25/12=2.1Amps).
Common causes of mouth ulcers. The most common causes of mouth ulcers are related to disturbances of the mouth and include: 1  Bacterial infections. 2  Canker sores. 3  Dietary deficiencies, such as lack of vitamin B-12, zinc, folate (folic acid), or iron. 4  Emotional stress. 5  Food allergies. 6  Nutritional deficiency. 7  Spicy foods.
Peptic ulcers, open sores in the lining of the stomach, esophagus, or duodenum (the first part of the intestine), are common. Contrary to popular belief, ulcers are not caused by spicy food or stress. Instead, a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori is usually to blame. Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil), can also cause ulcers.
