Power
• In an electrical circuit, power is supplied by the source
(e.g. batteries) and consumed or dissipated in load (e.g.
light bulb).
• Power is the rate at which energy is transformed:
Where
• P is Power (W)
• V is Voltage (V)
• I is Current (A)
• From Ohm’s Law, V= IR
P = I2R

returning to the battery.
V
• The voltage is divided between the bulbs.
