14 Amps is a fair amount of current in a computer!
Well, here is a useless tidbit.............
A small (5") black & white TV typically uses 1 amp at 12v.
OHM'S LAW. V = IxR.
Where: V = Voltage. I = Current. R = Resistance.
(current is amperage)
ohm's law is for finding resistance not Power (Wattage)
Here is how to calculate power:
Amperage X voltage = wattage
For example, a pump pulling 4 amps at 115 volts uses 460 watts
or
Watts divided by Volts equals Amps
a 60 watt light bulb at 220 volts draws .27 amps
