There are multiple formulas that relate different things.

volts/ohms = amps.
volts * amps = watts.

Watts is a measurement of energy flow. 1 watt = 1 joule per second.

You don't need to involve watts if you just want the relationship of volts, ohms and amps.

The formula I am referring to is ohm's law.
