1 kilovolt is how many amp?

The two parameters are not the same. You can not answer this question. If you stated a resistance, the question could be answered.

1 kilo-volt is 0 amps since the voltage, 1 kilo-volt or 1000 volts, is the pressure that will cause current (amps) to flow just like water pressure will cause water to flow but only if there is a complete pathway.

Consider a battery a switch and a light all connected in series such that if you close the switch the light will light.

The battery will have a voltage regardless if the switch is closed (light on) or open (light off). The battery could be a 1 kilo-volt battery of a 1.5 volt battery.

When the switch is closed, a complete path is made allowing the pressure of the battery to force a flow of current (amps) thought the light and cause it to glow.

Hope this helps,

My height is 5ft 4inch. What is my weight? The voltage and current are unrelated. Ohms said that if V is known and R is known, then I can be calculated. So do mention R and then I can give an answer,



If you have 1kV {my advice: do not touch it..], and resistance is 1kiloohm, then current is 1 amp, and power dissipated in the 1k is VI = 1kilowatt.



If you have a battery of 1.5V and place a resistance of 1.5 ohms across it, you could get the same current [If the battery is fresh, and its internal resistance is << 1.5 ohms]

kV= [length^2][mass]/[current][time^2]





And A=[current]





Voltage is given by potential difference between two points in electric circuits.



While Current is simply amount of electrons (electric current) flowing in circuits.





Hence, kV and A are not compatible.



Correct me if I'm wrong.

They are different quantities so the question can't be answered.





It's a bit like asking how many seconds are there in 1km.

need a resistance value... there is no such thing as a set ammount of current just because you have voltage.
