  1. Calculate the missing quantities for the circuit below. Calculate the missing quantities for the circuit below. V1 = 7.5 V R1 = 5.0  R2 = 3.0  V1 = 40 V R1 = 2.0  V2 = 40 V

  2. 9.2 The Power of Electricity Pg. 320 • Electrical power is the rate at which electric potential energy is being transformed. • One watt (W) of power is one joule (J) of electric potential energy transformed in one second 1W = 1J/s • Electrical power (P) be calculated by multiplying voltage (V) and current (I) • P=V∙I • The amount of electrical energy (E) used by a device is its power consumption (P) multiplied by the length of time (t) the device is turned on • E = Pt • Since the joule (J) is a very small amount of electrical energy, the kilowatt-hour (kW∙h) is used for devices that consume larger amounts of energy • How much energy is used to dry someone’s hair using a hair dryer? • the same amount of energy needed to lift an average student 1.5km into the air.

  3. Electrical power (P) is the rate of change in electrical energy • and the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed. • The unit for measuring energy is the joule (J), named for the British scientist James Prescott Joule (1818-1889). • One watt (W) of power is one joule (J) of energy transformed in one second (s) • 1W = 1J/s • named in honour of Scottish inventor James Watt (1736 – 1819) • James Watt invented the unit of power called “horse power” to compare the power of his improved steam engine to the power of a horse, to help boost sales. • One unit of horsepower is 746 W

  4. CALCULATING ELECTRICAL POWER p.323 If a 6.0V battery supplies a current of 2.0A, what is the power output of the battery? A current of 5.0 A flows through a flashlight bulb when it is connected to 6.0 V. What is the power of this bulb? Q43. A 600 W electric heater is connected to a 120 V source. What current flows through the heater? Example Power (P) = voltage (V) x current (I) P = V x I P = 6.0V x 2.0A P = 12.0W

  5. A 2.5 A current flows through a 100 W lamp. What is the voltage across the lamp? What is the current through a 6.0 W light bulb when it is connected to a 1.5 V battery? A 40 W light bulb is connected to a power supply and draws a current of 0.75 A. What is the voltage of the power supply? (b) If the 40 W light bulb is replaced by a 100 W light bulb, how much current will flow through the 100 W bulb?

  6. A power rating is a measurement of how much electrical energy an electrical device consumes for every second it is in use 1.0 W is the transfer of 1.0 J of energy every second (W=J/s) For example, a 60 W light bulb uses 60 J of electrical energy each second (60 W = 60 J/s)

  7. Calculating Energy ConsumptionPg. 324 You can calculate the amount of electrical energy (E) a device consumes by multiplying the power rating (P) with the amount of time (t) the device is used for. Time (t) is always calculated in seconds (s) P = E/t E = Pt Example How much electrical energy is consumed by a 1400W hair dryer it if is used for 5.0min? E = Pt E = 1400W x 300s (5 x 60) E= 420 000 J or 4.2 x 105 J

  8. How much energy, in joules, is consumed by a 75 W light bulb if it is left on for 30 min? How much energy, in joules, is consumed by the typical triple strand xmas tree lights that use 25 W per strand and are left on for 6 hours? How much energy, in joules, is consumed by a 500 W stereo if it is left on for 4.0 h?  

  9. A Larger Unit for EnergyPg. 325 A kilowatt-hour (kW∙h) is the product of power in kilowatts and time in hours 1000 W = 1kW As you might notice, most electrical devices consume many joules of electrical energy. In terms of electrical energy, the joule is a very small amount The power company that supplies electricity to your home keeps track of the electrical energy you consume Your home has a meter that keeps track of how much electricity is used, and there is a meter-reader that comes to read it to determine how much energy has been consumed since the last bill

  10. The Cost of ElectricityPg.325 A meter reader determines that a business has used 6525 kWh of energy in two months. If electricity costs 10¢ per kWh, calculate the bill. A 500 W stereo is used in a household. Electricity costs 8¢ per kWh. How much does it cost to operate the stereo 3.0 h a day for 30 days? The average home will use more than 50 strings of xmas lights each season and each strand uses 25 W which are left on for roughly 8hrs a day. If electricity costs 8¢ per kWh, how much will it cost to have those lights on for a month?
