Energy is the ability to do
work.
In electric circuits, it is
measured in joules.
When a current flows through a
circuit, it does work on the circuit
elements, such as resistors or motors.
The amount of work done is equal to
the energy consumed by the circuit.
The energy consumed by the circuit can
be calculated by multiplying the voltag
across the circuit by the current flowing
through it and the time the current is
flowing, using the formula:
Where:
Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (I) is
the rate at which energy is consumed by
the circuit.
 Power is the rate at which
energy is consumed or produced.
In electric circuits, it is
measured in watts (W).
 Power can be calculated by
multiplying the voltage across
the circuit by the current
flowing through it, using the
formula:
Power (W) = Voltage (V) x
 Power is important in electric
circuits because it determines how
much work can be done by the circuit.
For example, a high-power motor can
do more work than a low-power motor,
and a high-power light bulb can
produce more light than a low-power
light bulb.
Suppose you have a circuit that consists of a
12-volt battery connected to a resistor with a
resistance of 10 ohms. If a current of 1 ampere
flows through the resistor for 5 seconds, what
is the energy consumed by the circuit, and
what is the power consumed by the resistor?
