Power

The power of an appliance is...

• the amount of voltage going through it 
• the amount of energy transferred per second
• the amount of charge that passes through per second

Electrical power can be calculated using

• Resistance x Voltage
• Voltage x Current 
• Voltage ÷ Current

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?

• 170 W
• 170 A
• 1.7 V
• 1.7 W

Calculate the electric power of an electrical appliance in which 10 A of current is flowing through a resistor of 2 ohms.
 
Remember: V=IR and P=VI

• 80 W
• 200 W
• 2.5 A
• 22.5 KJ

What will be the current drawn by an electric bulb of 1000 W when it is connected to a source of 220 V?
Remember: I = P/V

• 4.55 A
• 28800 J or 28.8 KJ
• 80 W
• 200 W

a pair of 15-watt computer speakers are connected to a 12-volt power supply. what is the electric current running through the speakers? 

• 1.25 A
• 0.8 A
• 12.5 A
• 180 A

What is the unit of Electrical Power?

• Joule

• Watt

• Where

• Amp

Calculate the voltage applied when a 60 watt light-bulb uses a current of 5 amps

• 300 volts

• 30 volts

• 12 volts

• 0.08 volts

Calculate the power generated as a 20 A current flows through a 10Ω resistor?

• 2 W

• 200 W

• 4000 W

• 400 W
