A device with a higher power rating consumes more electrical energy per unit
time
A device with a higher power rating consumes more electrical energy per unit
time
Electric Power (P) is the rate of energy
conversion
Current (I) is the rate of flow of electric
charge
The amount of current in a circuit is affected by the voltage and
resistance
Higher resistance in a circuit leads to lower
current
.
True
The
watt
is used to express the power rating of electrical devices.
True
Power is measured in watts, voltage in volts, and current in
amperes
.
True
What is the formula for electric power (P) in terms of voltage (V) and current (I)?
P = VI
In the formula P = VI, 'I' represents the
current
in amperes.
Voltage is the electric potential
difference
between two points in a circuit.
The formula for Ohm's law is I =
V/R
Current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a circuit, measured in
amperes
Current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a circuit, measured in
amperes
The SI unit for electric power is the
watt
The formula for electric power is P =
VI
Match the voltage, current, and power values:
120 V, 5 A ↔️ 600 W
240 V, 2 A ↔️ 480 W
12 V, 10 A ↔️ 120 W
How much electrical energy is consumed by a 100 W device operating for 60 seconds?
6000 J
How is power distributed in a series circuit?
Proportionally to resistance
In the formula P = VI, what does I represent?
Current
What is voltage measured in?
Volts
The electric power formula relates power (P) in watts (W) to voltage (V) in volts (V) and current (I) in
amperes
Higher voltage leads to more
current
Ohm's law states that current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to
resistance
.
True
One watt is equivalent to one joule per
second
In the formula E = P * t, energy (E) is measured in
joules
In parallel circuits, power is distributed equally among components if their resistances are
equal
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is converted into other forms of
energy
