Question
if you knew the current and the voltage, which one of the following formulas would you use to determine the power?
○ ( p = mv )
○ ( p = \frac{f}{a} )
○ ( p = i^{2}r )
○ ( p = iv )
○ ( pv = nrt )
○ ( p = dgh )
○ ( p = \frac{delta e}{delta t} )
Brief Explanations
- \(p = mv\) is the formula for momentum (\(p\)), where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity.
- \(P=\frac{F}{A}\) is the formula for pressure (\(P\)), with \(F\) as force and \(A\) as area.
- \(P = I^{2}R\) calculates power (\(P\)) using current (\(I\)) and resistance (\(R\)), but we need a formula with voltage (\(V\)).
- \(PV=nRT\) is the ideal - gas law, relating pressure (\(P\)), volume (\(V\)), amount of substance (\(n\)), gas constant (\(R\)), and temperature (\(T\)).
- \(P = Dgh\) gives pressure (\(P\)) in a fluid, where \(D\) is density, \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity, and \(h\) is height.
- \(P=\frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}\) is the general formula for power as the rate of change of energy (\(\Delta E\)) over time (\(\Delta t\)), but we want a formula with current (\(I\)) and voltage (\(V\)).
- According to the definition of electric power, \(P = IV\) (where \(I\) is current and \(V\) is voltage) is the correct formula when current and voltage are known.
