ELECTRIC POWER
• Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy,
measured in watts (W).
• P = V.I
ELECTRIC POWER
In general:
i i
Power dissipated (-) Power dissipated (+)
Power generated (+) Power generated (-)
Steps Required:
• Choose an arbitrary direction of current flow
• Label polarities of all active elements (voltage
and current sources)
• Assign polarities to all passive elements
(resistors and load), for passive elements the
current always flow into the positive terminal
• Compute the power dissipated by each
element according to the following rule
• Rules:
– If positive current flows into positive terminal of
an element, then the power dissipated is positive (
element absorbs power)
– If the current leaves the positive terminal of an
element, then the power dissipated is negative
(element delivers power)
EXAMPLE
Given:
Analysis:
Step 1: Choose an arbitrary direction of current flow.
- Current flow is in clockwise direction
