Solving Problems Involving Electrical Energy and Power in Daily Life

Solution:

(a) Current, I
Potential difference, V = 3 V
Resistance, R = 3 ῼ
V = IR
1
I =
1
=1A
(b) Charge flow, Q
Current, I = 1 A,
Time, t = 2 × 60 s
= 120 s
Q = It
= 1 × 120
= 120 C

(c) Total electrical energy, E

Charge flow, Q = 120 C
Potential difference, V = 3 V
E = QV
= 120 × 3
= 360 J
