How to calculate voltage drop over and power loss in wires
How do I calculate the voltage drop over wires given a supply voltage and a current? How do I anticipate on voltage drop so that the final load has the correct supply voltage? What will be the power
power - Why can I use P = I²R but not P=V²/R when calculating energy ...
Power lost in the wires is 60² * 0.01 = 36 watts so energy delivered is this number multiplied by time (2 seconds) = 72 joules. Why can I use P = I²R but not P=V²/R when calculating energy lost in a circuit?
power - S = VI*/2 derivation - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
I was wondering Where I could find the derivation for the complex power formula, S=VI*/2, where S, V and I are complex phasors. I've seen a whole bunch of verifications where people sub stuff into...
voltage - Is power proportional to V or V^2? - Electrical Engineering ...
Jan 20, 2021 · Yes, because I is a function of V, as long as we're talking about resistors. Power is linearly proportional to voltage, though, if you're talking about a constant current device.
mains - When can I use the formula P=V^2/R? - Electrical Engineering ...
Jun 18, 2016 · The voltage in that formula must be the one across the load or subject of which you are interested to calculate the power, and the R is the resistance of that subject.
power - Hydropower formula: - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
May 1, 2016 · The basic formula for power is just like P = V.I except it is: - Power = pressure (pascals) x flow rate (cubic metres per second) To calculate flow rate needed to deliver 10 kW, divide power by …
How to calculate the power dissipation in a transistor?
Electrical power is the product of voltage and current: $$ P = VI $$ Usually we are converting electrical energy into heat, and we care about power because we don't want to melt our components. It doesn't …
Power consumed by a CPU - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
The main power draw in CPU's is caused by the charging and discharging of capacitors during calculations. These electrical charges are dissipated in resistors, turning the associated electrical …
power - Calculating total voltage/current for 3-phase? - Electrical ...
Phase 3 (V): 245.9375V I will like to know what is the total current generated, as well as the voltage value. Additionally, I want to find the power too. What I am thinking is that the 3-phase current and …
Average Power Formulas - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
The first formula you give above is correct. You find the instantaneous power as a function of time, integrate over the time interval of interest, and divide by the length of that interval. For a time-varying …
