As a domain expert in electrical engineering, I'm delighted to provide you with a comprehensive explanation of how to calculate the power in watts when given the current in amps and voltage in volts.

Power, in electrical terms, is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electrical circuit. The formula to calculate electrical power is straightforward: **Power (Watts) = Current (Amps) × Voltage (Volts)**. This formula is a fundamental principle in physics and engineering, and it applies to direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits, albeit with some nuances when dealing with AC due to the presence of power factor.

In your question, you've asked for the power in watts when the current is 10 amps and the voltage is 12 volts. Applying the formula, we get:

\[ \text{Power (Watts)} = \text{Current (Amps)} \times \text{Voltage (Volts)} \]
\[ \text{Power} = 10 \, \text{Amps} \times 12 \, \text{Volts} \]
\[ \text{Power} = 120 \, \text{Watts} \]

This calculation is straightforward and doesn't require any conversion, as the units are already in the correct form for the formula. The example provided in the reference material seems to be a bit misleading. The statement "For example 100 watts/10 amps = 10 volts" is incorrect in the context of power calculations. It appears to be an attempt to rearrange the power formula to solve for voltage, which would be correct if written as "100 watts / 10 amps = 10 volts" to find the voltage when the power and current are known.

However, the subsequent example "Converting Volts to Watts. The conversion of Volts to Watts at fixed amperage is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts" is correct but redundant since it restates the formula we are using to find the power. The example calculation "1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts" is also correct and demonstrates the application of the formula with different values.

To summarize, the power in watts when you have a current of 10 amps and a voltage of 12 volts is 120 watts. This is calculated directly using the formula without any need for conversion between watts and volts, as the formula inherently relates the two quantities.
