An electric bulb is connected to a power supply!on 220v if 0.8A electric current is passing through out it then calculate power of bulb
Answers
Given:-
- Potential difference ,V = 220v
- Current ,I = 0.8 A
To Find:-
- Power ,P
Solution:-
As we know that Power is defined as the rate of consumption of energy at per unit time .
• P = VI
Substitute the value we get
→ P = 220 × 0.8
→ P = 176 W
Therefore , the power of bulb is 176 Watt.
Additional Information!!
Potential Difference: The potential difference between two point in an electric circuit carrying some current as the work done to move a unit charge from one point to the other.
Potential difference = Work done /Charge.
V = W/Q
here
V is the potential difference
W is the work done
Q is the charge
✧ SI unit of electric potential energy is volt (V).
✧ 1 volt : The potential difference between two points in a current carrying conductor when one joule of work is done to move a charge of one coulomb from one point to other.
1 Volt = 1Joule/1Coulomb
Answer:
- Potential difference , V = 220v
- Current ,1 = 0.8 A
- Power ,P
- Substitute the value we get
» P = 220 x 0.8
» P = 176 W
