 Electric power

• Electric power (p) can be defined as the rate of doing electrical

work.

•Electric power (p) =

•SI unit for power is Watt.

12. Several electric bulbs designed to be used on a 220 V electric
supply line, are rated 10 W. How many lamps can be connected
in parallel with each other across the two wires of 220 V line if
the maximum allowable current is 5 A?
15. Two lamps, one rated 100 W at 220 V, and the other 60
W at 220 V, are connected in parallel to electric mains
supply. What current is drawn from the line if the supply
voltage is 220 V?
