Electrical Power
Electrical power is the rate of electrical energy consumed by an electrical circuito Shows how fast energy is used
Mechanical power is the rate at which work is done
A rate is like a speedoTypical values for speed: mi/hr or m/s

Power and Work
Mechanical work has units of force times distanceo Something has to move for work to be doneo The thing that moves for electrical work is the
electron
Electron movement is measured by the amount of current
The force that makes electrons move is voltage

Watt’s Law

P = V • IP = ΔV • I
Copyright © Texas Education Agency, 2014. All rights reserved.
Electrical power is the product of current times voltage
o Use change in voltage only when a portion of the available voltage is used by a circuit or component
The unit of electrical power is the watt (W)
A watt has units of joules per second (J/s)
Power and Energy
Power is a rate of energy usageo Utility companies charge for energy used, not for
power used
Energy is a product of power and timeo For example, if one watt is used for one second,
one joule of energy is consumed

Household Energy Use
Utility companies use kilowatt hours (kW•h) to measure units of energy in houses
How many joules are in one kW•h?o3,600,000 joules or 3.6 MJ (mega joules)

Other Power Formulas
You may alternate between versions of the power formula depending on the known circuit values
These two versions result from substituting Ohm’s Law for either voltage or current

Summary of Power Formulas
When current and voltage are known, use P=IV When current and resistance are known, use P=I2R When voltage and resistance are known, use P=V2 / R

Using a Wattmeter
To measure power with a wattmeter:
1. Turn off circuit power
2. Connect the current (I) terminals of the wattmeter in series with the circuit load
o CAUTION - Observe polarity. The positive lead must be toward the positive side, and the negative lead toward the negative side.

Using a Wattmeter (cont’d.)
3. Connect the voltage (V) terminals of wattmeter across the load
4. Turn on circuit power
5. Read and record power value in watts indicated on wattmeter
6. Turn off circuit power and disconnect wattmeter

Wattage Rating of Resistors
Resistors have ohm values and wattage ratings
Resistor size generally indicates wattage rating
Wattage rating indicates the maximum amount of power
o Wattage rating should be double the expected power level of the circuit

Power Formula Proportions
Direct proportion - a change in one quantity produces the same direction of change in another quantity
o Example: In the power formula P=VI, if the current remains constant but the voltage is decreased, power is also decreased
• Inverse proportion - a change in one quantity produces the opposite direction of change in another quantity
o Example: In the power formula P= V2/R, if voltage remains constant but resistance is increased, power is decreased
