1. Question 1
According to Ohm's law, the voltage or potential difference between two points is
proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance and proportional
to the resistance of the circuit. Ohm's law is expressed as V=IR. Georg Simon Ohm, a
German scientist, discovered the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance.
Ohm's Law Application is when the other two quantities are known, Ohm's law can be
used to calculate the voltage, current, impedance, or resistance of a linear electric circuit.
It also simplifies power calculation.
We know that the more electrons the higher the voltage. For, example in a battery, the
electrons are repelling in one another, so this means that there is more pressure. Then,
these electrons will get a path to move outside to flow out and this flow out is called
current. Basically, at high pressure, more electrons flow, which means the more the
voltage pushes more current. When the path is blocking the flow of current in a path then
there is resistance happening in it. Remember, higher the resistance lowers the current
flow. This is how the voltage, current, and resistance related.
2. Question 2
Electrical power is the rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an
electric circuit. It is the rate of doing work. However the movement of electrical power or
charge is referred to as electricity. It is a secondary energy source, meaning that we
obtain it through the conversion of primary energy sources such as coal, natural gas, oil,
nuclear power, and other natural sources.
Electrical energy is caused by moving electric charges called electrons. The amount of
energy is determined by the charging speed. The more electrical energy they carry, the
faster they move. Also Electrons, which are moving electric charges, produce electrical
energy. The more electrical energy the charges carry, the faster they move. The energy
is created by the movement of the charges that cause it.
3. Question 3
Types of Electrical Power
Electric power is classified into two types of electric power and they are:

DC power: It is defined as the product of voltage and current and is produced by the
generator, battery, and fuel cell. The mathematical representation is P = V x I where P is
the power in watts, V is the voltage in volts, and I is the current in amps.

AC power: There are three types of AC power and they are:


Apparent power
It is the ideal power and is represented by S. The SI unit is volt-amp. The
mathematical representation is S = VrmsIrms where S is the apparent power.
Where S – apparent power
Vrms – RMS voltage = Vpeak√2 in volt.
Irms – RMS current = Ipeak√2 in the amp.

Active power
It is the power which is dissipated in the circuit. The mathematical representation
is P =
VmaxImaxcosΦ where P is the real power in watts and Φ is the impedance
phase angle between voltage and current.
Where, P – the real power in watts.
Vrms – RMS voltage = Vpeak√2 in volts.
Irms – RMS current = Ipeak√2 in the amp.
Φ – impedance phase angle between voltage and current.
Reactive power
The power which is developed in the circuit is known as reactive power and is
denoted by Q and measured in volt-ampere reactive. The mathematical
representation is Q = VrmsIrmssinΦ where Q is the reactive power in watts.
Where, Q – the reactive power in watts.
Vrms – RMS voltage = Vpeak√2 in volt.
Irms – RMS current = Ipeak√2 in the amp.
Φ – impedance phase angle between voltage and current.
The relation between the apparent, active and reactive power is shown below.

The ratio of the real to the apparent power is called power factor, and their value lies
between 0 and 1.
