Hi Jody. I was checking out this great article at howstuffworks.com when I remembered seeing your question.
How Flourescent Lamps Work.

Your question about the exact values for a particular ballast might be better answered by this site:
Flourescent Lamps, Ballasts, and Fixtures

Or, check out the links at the end of the howstuffworks article.

Hope this helps!
