A:
Volts and Watts are different things and you cannot convert directly from one to the other. The Watt is a unit of rate of energy flow or power. If you have a 1 Volt battery connected to a 1 Ohm resistor then 1 Ampere of current will flow. The product of Volts times Amperes gives the amount of power flowing in the circuit which, in this case, would be 1 Watt since current is equal to the voltage divided by the resistance. In formulas:
Power(Watts) = Voltage(Volts) x Current(Amperes).
Also, Current = Volts / Resistance(Ohms)

Power(Watts) = Voltage(Volts) x Current(Amperes).
Also, Current = Volts / Resistance(Ohms)
