measure of how much work can be performed in a given
amount of time, measured in watts.
power
– refers to the process by which an electrical or
electronic device converts electrical energy into heat as a byproduct
of its operation, considered as a power loss and is measured in watts
Power dissipation
formula for power
P = IV
multimeter correct procedure
ohmmeter
- Remove the supply voltage
- Calibrate
- If possible, remove from the
circuit - Use a convenient range
multimeter correct procedure
voltmeter
Make sure that there is a supply
voltage
* Range > V measured
* Observe correct polarity
* Observe correct type of voltage
multimeter correct procedure
Ammeter
- Make sure that there is a supply
voltage - Range > I measured
- Observe correct polarity
- Observe correct type of curren
