Current, Voltage Resistance and Electric power

Analyze and calculate:

Required:

Calculate the total resistance (Rt)


Calculate the total current (It)
Calculate the voltage drop across each resistor

To find: Total resistance (Rt)


Total current (It)
Current through R1 (I1)
Current through R2 (I2)

Note: In a parallel circuit, the reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the
sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances.
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2
Formulas for Current, Voltage, Resistance, and Electric Power

Ohm's Law

Ohm's Law is the fundamental relationship between voltage, current, and


resistance in an electrical circuit. It is expressed as:

V=IxR

Where:

V = Voltage (in volts, V)

I = Current (in amperes, A)

R = Resistance (in ohms, Ω)

***From this equation, we can derive two other forms:

I=V/R

R=V/I

Electric Power

Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred in an


electric circuit. It is calculated using the following formulas:

P=VxI

P = I^2 * R

P = V^2 / R

Where:

P = Power (in watts, W)

Note: In Power Calculations:

You'll often see the "^" symbol in formulas like:

P = I^2 * R (Power equals current squared times resistance)

In this case, I^2 means current squared.

Summary of Formulas

Quantity Formula

Voltage (V) V = I * R

Current (I) I = V / R

Resistance (R) R = V / I
Power (P) P=V*I

Power (P) P = I^2 * R

Power (P) P = V^2 / R

Understanding the Formulas

Ohm's Law describes how voltage, current, and resistance are related in a
circuit. Increasing voltage increases current if resistance stays constant.
Increasing resistance decreases current if voltage stays constant.

Electric power formulas relate the rate of energy transfer to voltage, current,
and resistance. Higher voltage or current results in higher power. Higher
resistance decreases power for a given voltage.

Example Problem

A light bulb has a resistance of 240 ohms and is connected to a 120-volt


source. What is the current flowing through the bulb and the power it
consumes?

Given: R = 240 ohms, V = 120 volts

Find: I, P

Solution:

Using Ohm's Law: I = V / R = 120 V / 240 ohms = 0.5 A

Using power formula: P = V * I = 120 V * 0.5 A = 60 W
