• Power
• Definition – the time rate of change of
energy. dw
• Defining equation: p
where dt
p is power in watts [W]
w is energy in joules [J]
t is time in seconds [s]
• Note that energy is the integral over time
of power!

Chapter 1 – Circuit Variables
What is the meaning of positive power and
negative power?
• When the power associated with a circuit
element is negative, the circuit element is
generating (delivering, supplying) power
to the circuit.
• When the power associated with a circuit
element is positive, the circuit element is
absorbing (dissipating) power from the
circuit.
Chapter 1 – Circuit Variables
Find the power associated with the circuit
elements below. State whether the power is
generated or absorbed.

Suppose we modify the previous problem as
follows: Find the energy delivered to the
circuit element in the first 2 milliseconds.
How can we modify the solution to the
original problem to get the answer for the
modified problem?
A. Multiply the original answer
by 0.002
B. Change the upper limit on
the original integral to 0.002
C. You cannot modify the
original solution to solve the
modified problem
