Q

what is the equation for power

A

power = work done/time taken
which is the same as energy transferred/time taken
or power = current x potential difference
or power = resistance x current(squared)

Q

What does a potential difference of 1 volt us

A

It tells us that 1 joule of energy is transferred for each coulomb of charge that is moving through the circuit, if it was 3 volts it would be 3 joules per coulomb of charge
