How are amps and watts related?

In a nutshell, the power (measured in watts) dissipated by a resistance is directly proportional to the square of the current (measured in amperes or amps) flowing through that resistance.

It is given by the formula P = I2R, where P is the power in watts, I is the current in amps, and R is the resistance in ohms. For example, if two amps are flowing through a 10-ohm resistor, then the power dissipated by the resistor is 22 * 10 = 40 watts.
