Now if an electrical appliance is operated at a potential difference of 1 volt and the device carries a current of 1 ampere, then power becomes 1 watt. That is One watt is the power consumed by an appliance which when operated at a potential difference of 1 volt carries a current of 1 ampere. Some other formulae of calculating the electric power:
Power- voltage rating of electrical appliance: For example: the power rating of 100 w on the bulb means that it will consume electrical energy at the rate of 100 joules per second. Now according to the law of conservation of energy, The electrical energy consumed by an electrical appliance is given by the product of its power rating and the time for which it is used.
In the formula: electrical energy = power x time, if we take the power in ‘watts’ and time in ‘ hours’ then the electrical energy becomes ‘watt – hours’. (Wh) One watt – hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an electrical appliance of 1 watt is used for one hour. Now we have describe the commercial unit of electrical energy of electrical energy called kilowatt – hour. Relation b/w kilowatt – hour and joule: One kilowatt – hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an electrical energy consumed when an electrical appliance having power rating of 1 kilowatt is used for 1 hour. Heating effect of current: When an electric current is passed through a high resistance wire like nichrome wire, the resistance wire becomes hot and produced heat. This is known as heating effect of current. The role of resistances in the circuits is same as the friction in the machines. Since a conductor, say a resistance wire, offers resistance to the flow of the current, so work must be done by a current continuously to keep itself flowing. We will calculate the work done by a current I when it is passing through a resistance R for time t. Now when an electric charge Q moves against a potential difference V, the amount of work done is given by From the definition of the current we have, I = Q /t or Q = I t And from ohm’s law, we have V/ I = R or potential difference , V = I x R Now putting Q = I x t and V = I x R It is clear that the heat produced in a wire is directly proportional to
Applications of the heating effect of current:
