So 1 watt is any ratio of volts x watts that equals 1. 1volt x 1amp = 1 watt. or. 9v @ .11 amps = 1 watt. For ratio of volts x watts above read product of volts x amps. True for resistive loads.
Steps. 1. Learn the formula. There is a very simple formula for calculating watts. All you need to know are the number of amperes (amps) and the number of volts. The formula is Watts = Amps x Volts. Ad. 2. Find the number of amps and volts. For an electronic device or appliance there should be an information sticker located somewhere on the back of the bottom of the item. This will contain the number of amps and volts in that device, which you'll use to calculate the wattage. 1  Volts, can also be called input voltage for your device and are often designated by a capital V.. 2  The amperage number will usually be smaller than the voltage number, and may include decimal numbers.
