    Study Notes

    Power and Energy in Electric Circuits

    • Power is defined as the rate at which work is done, measured in watts (W) or joules per second (J/s).
    • Energy represents the capacity to perform work, measured in joules (J) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).
    • Key formulas:
      • Power: P = V × I (Voltage × Current)
      • Energy: E = P × t (Power × Time)

    Units of Measurement

    • Power: Measured in watts (W)
    • Energy: Measured in joules (J) or kilowatt-hours (kWh)
    • 1 kilowatt (kW) is equivalent to 1000 watts (W).

    Practical Application of Power and Energy Formulas

    • Calculate power in a circuit with:
      • P = V² / R (Voltage squared divided by Resistance)
      • P = I² × R (Current squared times Resistance)
    • Energy consumption in kilowatt-hours can be calculated from power and time.

    Energy Consumption in Households

    • Common unit of energy consumption is the kilowatt-hour (kWh).
    • Calculation example:
      • For a 1000 W appliance running for 10 hours:
        • E = P × t = 1000 W × 10 h = 10 kWh

    Cost of Electrical Energy

    • Electrical bill calculated as:
      • Cost ()=EnergyConsumed(kWh)×Rate() = Energy Consumed (kWh) × Rate ()=EnergyConsumed(kWh)×Rate(/kWh)

    Worked Examples

    • Example: A 1000 W heater on for 10 hours:
      • Energy in joules: E = 1000 W × (10 × 3600) s = 36,000,000 J
      • Energy in kWh: 10 kWh.
    • Refrigerator Calculation (2 kW usage):
      • Monthly energy: E = 2 kW × 24 h/day × 30 days = 1440 kWh.

    Energy Efficiency Practices

    • Set computers to ‘Sleep’ or ‘Hibernate’ modes to reduce power consumption.
    • Properly maintain appliances to ensure efficient operation:
      • Check seals on ovens.
      • Use correct water levels for washing machines.
    • Use energy-efficient appliances, indicated by energy labels.

    Energy-Saving Tips

    • Replace incandescent bulbs with energy-saving options like LEDs.
    • Switch off lights and appliances when not in use.
    • Control air conditioner temperature settings for better efficiency.

    Appliance Ratings

    • Voltage rating indicates the voltage an appliance is designed for, e.g., bulbs (60 W, 230 V; 40 W, 230 V), fluorescent lamps (32 W, 230 V), and water heaters (3000 W, 230 V).
    • Power rating reflects how much energy an appliance uses; a 60 W bulb is brighter compared to a 40 W bulb due to higher work done per unit time.

    Electricity and Energy Calculation

    • Rated current calculation for a 60 W, 230 V bulb:
      • Current (I) = Power (P) / Voltage (V) = 60 W / 230 V = 0.26 A.
    • Resistance (R) is calculated using Ohm's law: R = V / I = 230 V / 0.26 A = 884.6 Ω.

    Energy Usage

    • Energy (E) is measured in joules (J) or watt-seconds (Ws); large energy uses in households are more conveniently expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
    • Conversion: 3,600,000 J = 1 kWh.
    • Energy consumption formula: E = P × t, where P = power in kW and t = time in hours.

    Cost Calculation of Appliance Usage

    • Example for a 900 W heater used for 30 minutes daily over a week:
      • E = 0.9 kW × 0.5 h × 7 days = 3.15 kWh, costing $0.79 at $0.25 per kWh.

    Utility Bills Overview

    • Households typically receive bills for electricity, gas, and water services.
    • Example bill includes 229 kWh usage yielding a charge of $51.32 at a rate of $0.2241 per kWh.

    High-Energy Consumption Appliances

    • Common high-energy appliances: refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, and electric iron.
    • Appliances with higher power ratings consume more energy.

    Energy Consumption Reduction Strategies

    • Unplug unused chargers and switch off power supply to appliances.
    • Enable 'sleep' and 'hibernate' modes on computers to save energy.
    • Optimal temperature settings can reduce air conditioning energy use.
    • Efficient appliance use includes checking seals on ovens and washing machines to match load sizes.
    • Purchasing energy-efficient appliances can lead to long-term savings.

    Energy-Saving Tips

    • Replace incandescent bulbs with energy-saving alternatives such as LED bulbs.
    • Make it a habit to turn off lights when not in use.

    Practice Questions

    • Analyze power dissipation in resistors connected to a power supply.
    • Determine the energy consumption of appliances based on their power rating and usage duration (e.g., 1 kW refrigerator usage over 30 days).
