2. Power & Energy in Electric Circuits Series Circuits

3. Power in Electric Circuits
Rate at which energy is supplied to circuit
P = VI

4. Example:
Calculate the rate at which energy is supplied by a 120-volt source to a circuit if the current in the circuit is 5.5 amperes.

5. P = VI V I= R V2
P = R

6. Energy (W)
E = VIt
E = P t
E=I2Rt
V2t
E = R

7. Example:

8. Example:
An immersion heater has a resistance of 5.0 ohms while drawing a current of 3.0 amperes. How much electrical energy is delivered to the heater during 200. seconds of operation?

9. An operating 100. -watt lamp is connected to a 120-volt outlet
An operating 100.-watt lamp is connected to a 120-volt outlet. What is the total electrical energy used by the lamp in 60. seconds?

10. SERIES CIRCUIT
Only ONE current path if that is interrupted, the entire circuit won’t work.

11. SERIES CIRCUIT
Since only one path, current throughout the circuit is constant I = I1 = I2 = I3 = …

12. V = V1 + V2 + V3 +… SERIES CIRCUIT
Potential difference (V) across 2 points depends on the work needed to get between those 2 points V drops across each resistor (not constant)
V = V1 + V2 + V3 +…

13. SERIES CIRCUIT
Ohm’s law holds for each resistance
V = IR

14. Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + … SERIES CIRCUIT
Req = equivalent resistance of the system
Req = R1 + R2 + R3 + …

15. SERIES CIRCUIT
We can find: Req = I = VR1= VR2= VR3=

16. SERIES CIRCUIT
Req = = 12 kΩ I = V/R = 1 mA VR1= IR1 = 3 V VR2= IR2 = 4 V VR3= IR3 = 5 V

17. Find: Req, I, VR1, VR2, VR3, VR4, VR5
