    Study Notes

    What is Electrical Power?

    • Electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is supplied or consumed by an electrical device.
    • It represents how fast the electrical energy is being used.
    • Power is measured in watts (W).

    Understanding Electrical Power

    • The power of an electrical device can be calculated using the formula: power = energy / time.
    • 1 watt is equivalent to 1 joule per second (1 W = 1 J/s).
    • Energy is measured in joules (J), and time is measured in seconds (s).

    Kilowatts

    • For larger amounts of power, kilowatts (kW) are used.
    • 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts (1 kW = 1000 W).

    Power Ratings of Appliances

    • Different appliances have different power ratings depending on their function and design.
    • Power ratings indicate how much electrical power the appliance consumes when it is in use.
    • Examples of power ratings include:
      • Electric Pan: 1400 W
      • Fan: 120 W

    Practical Application

    • To determine the power rating of an appliance, look for a label or stamp on the device.
    • Knowing the power rating of an appliance allows you to calculate the energy consumption and the cost of using the appliance over a certain period.
