Electric Power Lesson 2.5

Key Concepts How do you calculate electric power? What factors are used to determine how people pay for electrical energy?

Energy Transformation An electric appliance transforms electrical energy into another form. The energy transformation enables the appliance to perform its function.

Appliances For example, a hair dryer transforms electrical energy to thermal energy for drying hair.

Power (W) The rate at which energy is transformed from one form to another is known as power. The unit of power is the watt (W).

Power Ratings A bright light bulb transforms (or uses) electrical energy at a faster rate than a dimmer bulb.

Power Ratings Appliances used in the home vary greatly in their power ratings. New appliances are sold with labels that show the power rating for each product.

Power Calculation The power of a light bulb or appliance depends on two factors: voltage and current. You can calculate power by multiplying voltage by current.

Power Calculation The units are watts (W) = volts (V) x amperes (A). Using the symbols P for power, V for voltage, and I for current, this equation can be rewritten… Power = Voltage x Current P = V I

Key Concepts How do you calculate electric power? What factors are used to determine how people pay for electrical energy?

Electrical Bill The electrical bill that comes to your home charges for energy use, not power. Energy use depends on both power and time.

Energy The total amount of energy used by an appliance is equal to the power of the appliance multiplied by the amount of time the appliance is used. Energy = Power x Time

Kilowatt-hours Electric power is usually measured in thousands of watts, or kilowatts (kW), and time is measured in hours. The unit of electrical energy is the kilowatt-hour (kWh). Kilowatt-hours = Kilowatts x Hours

Electric Meter The amount of electrical energy used in your home is measured by a meter. The electric company uses the meter to keep track of the number of kilowatt-hours used.
