Questions and Answers

What equation can be used to calculate power consumption in a circuit?

  • Power = Current * Resistance
  • Power = Current squared * Resistance
  • Power = Voltage / Current
  • Power = Voltage squared / Resistance (correct)
  • How is power consumption related to the heat generated in a circuit?

  • Power consumption causes voltage drop
  • Power consumption leads to energy conversion into heat (correct)
  • Power consumption results in light emission
  • Power consumption increases current flow
  • What happens to the energy lost by electrons in a circuit?

  • It is converted into light energy
  • It is dissipated as heat (correct)
  • It is transformed into mechanical energy
  • It is stored as potential energy
