Google "ohm's law" and "Watts Law". You will find many resources fir what you are looking for. This one is good:

Excellent calculator from above.
Basically, Volts X Amps equals Watts.
120 volts with a 10 amp load equals 1200 watts.
Or, say you have a Hair drier that is 1200 watts.
divide by the voltage.
(1200 watts divided by 120 equals a 10 amp draw).
