Title: Electrical Power
1Electrical Power
- Power is the rate at which work is done or energy
is expended. - Unit is Watt Joule / second
- (James Watt worked on steam engines and launched
the industrial revolution) - Power Work / time
- Electrical Energy Power Time VIt
2Electrical Power
- Power is the rate at which a charge is moved
through a potential difference - Power Current Voltage
- (Coulombs/sec) (Joules / Coulomb)
- Joules / second
- Electrical Energy Power time P t
- J/sec sec Joules
-
3Electrical Power
4Examples
- The power lines leading to a house typically
support 200A at 220V. - How much power is the maximum available?
- If the wire leading to the house has a resistance
of 0.014W, how much power is lost in the wiring?
- V/I R 1.1 Ohms. P IV 44kW in house. P
I2(0.014) 560W in the wire leading to the
house. - The voltage in the neighborhood is typically
7200V. For the same 0.014W wire and household
power, how much power is lost in the wire? - P 44000W, R 0.014 Ohms. P V2/R ? PR
V2, or V 25V. Power lost is P IV 0.35W. -
5Electrical Energy
- Electrical Energy
- Follows the same conservation laws as all other
forms of energy - Potential energy (charge at a high potential)
- Converts to kinetic energy (via a motor)
- Converts to thermal energy (via resistance)
-
6Electrical Energy
- Electrical Energy is priced in kWh
- One kiloWatt 1000 Watts
- One kWh One kW for one hour
7Electrical Energy
- Electrical Energy PowerTime Pt VIt
- Electrical energy has units of Joules
- 3,600,000 Joules
- 1000 Joules / sec 3600 seconds
- 1000 Watts 1 hour 1kiloWatt-hour
- 1 kWh 0.13

9Examples
- Given a 60W light bulb in a 120V circuit, how
much current does it draw? - What is its resistance?
- How many kWh does it consume in 8 hours?
- How much does this cost at 0.13/kWh?
- Given a stove with a burner having a 20W
resistance - How much power is developed with a 120V supply?
How much current? - How much power is developed with a 240V supply?
How much current? -
10Resistance of an object
- What would we expect it to depend on?
- (Resistance is the impedance to the flow of
charge)
