Formula to find energy or work
E or w= V x I x t
Work Energy Electrical potential Current Time
W J E J V V I A t S (seconds)
Formula to find current
I= w➗VXt
Calculating energy and work and power
W and e =
P=
W= I x v x t P= I x v
What way does bc hydro express their energy use
They use hw x hours
kW x hours is a U it of expression for energy “Joules” but simply looks smaller
Electricity around the home
Energy is?
Energy is the ability to do work
What is ac
What is scheduled
Ac is current in the alternating form it is more consistent, ac current uses magnets to spin push and pull electrons 60 Hz
Dc is direct current
Breaker switches and fuses
They are both are designated weak points and therefore the more things we plug in if we exceed 15 amps the breaker or fuse will break of shut off
Colors of wires in a cercuit panel
Black hot 120 v
Red hot 120v
White neutral unless something is plugged in
Green or copper is to ground it
