Convert calorie (IT)/second to volt ampere
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to volt ampere [V*A], or Convert volt ampere to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 4186.8 V*A. To convert calorie (IT)/second to volt ampere, multiply the value by 4186.8; to go the other way, divide by it (1 V*A = 0.000238845896627 cal/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cal/s = 4186.8 V*A
- 1 V*A = 0.000238845896627 cal/s
- 10 cal/s = 41868 V*A
- 100 cal/s = 418680 V*A
How to Convert Calorie (It)/second to Volt Ampere
1 cal/s = 4186.8 V*A
Example: convert 15 cal/s to V*A:
15 cal/s = 15 × 4186.8 V*A = 62802 V*A

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
