Amps times volts = watts Watts measures the rate of power usage.
watts times hours = watt hours Watt hours is a measure of the amount of power used.

voltage! measured in volts. current X resistance = voltage simple ohms law
200 amps is equal to zero kva. To answer this question a voltage is needed.
Milli amps is a measure of current whilst watt is a measure of power. The missing element is voltage as the formula is:- Power = Voltage * Amps ie power in Watts is the product of Volts (in Volts) times Amps (in Amps)
If you have 14 watts, you have 14 watts of power. We measure electromotive force (EMF), which is commonly called voltage, in volts. EMF (voltage) is the force that will drive electron current flow, which is measured in amps. Simply put, power is current times voltage, or, said another way, watts is amps times volts. If you have 14 watts, you could have 14 amps at 1 volt, 7 amps at 2 volts, 2 amps at 7 volts, or any other combination of current and voltage with a product of 14. You may have picked up that because watts is amps times volts, we can say that a watt is a volt-amp. Extending that thinking, 14 watts is 14 volt-amps. There is no way to write 14 watts in volts, at least not without having a bit more information.
When a dc supply is connected to a resistor, current flows. The current in amps is equal to the supply voltage divided by the resistance in ohms. The power used is the voltage times the current, and that appears as heat in the resistor, which might become hot to touch.
