Electric Power(P) • What is Power? • Power is defined as the time rate of doing work. • It is how fast we do work!! • What is work? • Work is the transfer of energy through motion. • Power is the rate of transfer of energy through motion. • Measured in Watts(W) • Electric Power is also the time rate of doing work. • It is how fast electrical energy can be transferred to other forms of energy.
Consider where we have heard the word “Watts” used in electricity!! • Light bulbs • What does a light bulb do? What happens in terms of energy?
Electric Power(P) • Calculating Electric Power P = V I P –Power(in Watts(W)) V—Voltage(in Volts(V)) I--Current(in Amps(A))
Ex) How much power is consumed when a current of 12 A flows when connected to a 9 V battery? Given: V = 9V I = 12 A P = ? P = V I P = 9(12) P = 108 W
Ex) A CD Player with a power rating of 10 W needs 1.11 A to work properly. What size battery is required? Given: V = ? I = 1.11 A P = 10 W P = V I V = P/I V = 10/1.11 V = 9 V
Ex) A 60 W light bulb is connected to a 110 V electric outlet. How much current flows through the light bulb? Given: V = 110V I = ? P = 60 W P = V I I = P/V I = 60/110 I = .54 A
A 3 A current flows through a CD Player when connected with a 9 V battery. How much power is consumed by the CD player? • 3 W • .33 W • 12 W • 27 W
What current will flow through a 40 W light bulb when connected to a 110 V outlet? • 3 A • .36 A • 12 A • 27 A
Electrical Energy • Measure of the amount of power actually consumed over time. • Measured in kW * hr • All electrical appliances have a Power Rating(an amount of power they consume “while on”) • So electrical energy depends on how long you use a device.
Electric Energy • Determining electric energy E = P*t E = electrical energy(kW*hr) P = Power(kW) t = time (hrs)
Electrical Energy(cont.) • You have an electric meter outside of your house somewhere. • What does it tell you? • Does it always move at the same rate? • Is it always moving? • Two Types of Meters: • Analog • Digital
What is the reading on the meter below? • 4,925 kW*hr • 9,925 kW*hr • 14,925 kW*hr • 84,925 kW*hr
Power Bills • You can determine how much a power bill is by multiplying the electrical energy used by the cost per kilowatt-hour. • If electrical energy costs $.10 per kW*hr and you consume 500 kW of power, your electric bill will be $50.00.
Fuse Boxes and Circuit Breakers • Offer protection from over-heating circuits. • Fires are bad!! • No fires are good!! • Fuses Blow • Circuit Breakers Trip
Why do Fuses “blow” and Circuit Breakers “Trip”? • All fuses(and circuit breakers) have a maximum amount of current they can have passing through them. • If the maximum is exceeded, they blow!! fuse Circuit Breaker
Example of Blowing a Fuse • A fuse is rated at 20 A. • Will it “blow” if the following are hooked up? • A TV drawing 4 A. • A hair dryer drawing 7 A. • A curling iron drawing 6 A. • A “hair straightener” drawing 5 A. Total Current = 22 A Fuse will only allow 20 A, fuse BLOWS!!
The following devices are connected to a 110 V circuit. Will a 12 A fuse connected to the circuit blow?Radio—40 ohmsComputer—60 ohmsHair dryer—120 ohmsIpod charger—25 ohms • Yes • No • Not at first, but it will after 19 seconds
