What is electric power?
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit.
Formula for electric power
, where P is power, I is current, and V is voltage.
Difference between voltage and current
Voltage is the potential difference, while current is the flow of electric charge.
True or false: Power is measured in watts.
True, because power is defined as energy per unit time.
Fill in the blank: \displaystyle P = ____ imes V.
P = I × V.
What is resistance?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current, measured in ohms.
How does Ohm's Law relate voltage, current, and resistance?
.
True or false: Higher resistance means more current.
False, because higher resistance results in less current for a given voltage.
What does a voltmeter measure?
A voltmeter measures the electric potential difference between two points.
Difference between AC and DC
AC (Alternating Current) changes direction; DC (Direct Current) flows in one direction.
What is the unit of current?
The unit of current is the ampere (A).
What is the unit of voltage?
The unit of voltage is the volt (V).
What is a circuit?
A circuit is a closed loop that allows current to flow.
True or false: A short circuit reduces current flow.
False, because a short circuit allows excessive current to flow.
Fill in the blank: In a series circuit, total resistance is _____.
the sum of all resistances.
Example of energy consumption
A 60W light bulb uses 60 watts of power when turned on.
What is an electric meter?
An electric meter measures the amount of electric energy consumed by a residence.
True or false: Power can be calculated using .
True, because power is energy divided by time.
How does increasing voltage affect current?
Increasing voltage increases current if resistance remains constant.
What is the relationship between power and energy?
Power is the rate of energy usage over time.
