Power is calculated by multiplying voltage by

Physics

butalik [34]3 years ago
5 0

If you're calculating the power of an athlete who is lifting weights,
or the power of a windmill that is pumping water from a well, or
the power of two horses turning millstones, then those electrical
units won't help at all.

But if you happen to be calculating the power delivered to an
electrical circuit or dissipated by an electrical device, then you
can use ...

                (voltage) times (current)
or
                (voltage)² divided by (resistance)
or
                (current)² times (resistance) .

The choice just depends on which quantities you know
or can easily measure.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1800/300 = 6ropes

Explanation:

The engine weighs 1800N and the person exerts a force of 300N, so for him to lift the engine and exerting a force of 300N all through we divide the weight of the engine by the force exerted to know how many ropes are used. Which makes it 6 thereby each rope uses 300N to lift the engine.

Thermostat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • A thermostat is a device that exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature.
  • Thermostat automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point.

At one point in the circuit, there is an LED and a resistor in parallel with one another. If you measure the voltage drop across
kifflom [539]

Answer:

C. The voltage drop across the resistor is 2.1V and nothing about the current through the resistor.

Explanation:

When connected in parallel, voltage across the resistances are the same. So if 2.1V was dropped across the LED then 2.1V was also dropped across the resistor. However, this tells us nothing about the current through the resistor. We can find the current across the resistor if we know the resistance of the resistor, but that's about it.

If it were a series connection, then the current would have been the same, but the voltage drop were another story.
