Question
Which of the following terms does not represent electrical power in a circuit?(a) I2R(b) IR2(c) VI(d) v22
Solution
The term that does not represent electrical power in a circuit is (b) IR2.
Here's why:
Electrical power in a circuit can be calculated using several formulas, depending on what quantities you know:
-
P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. This is the most direct formula.
-
P = I^2 * R, where R is resistance. This is derived from Ohm's law (V = IR), substituting V in the power formula.
-
P = V^2 / R, again derived from Ohm's law, substituting I in the power formula.
As you can see, (a) I^2R, (c) VI, and (d) V^2/R all represent power. However, (b) IR^2 is not a formula for power in a circuit.
