Which of the following is the correct equation to calculate electrical energy? P = I/V V = P × I P = I × V E = P × t
Phoenix [80]

You haven't told us what any of those letters represents.

I'm going to assume that ...

-- ' P ' = power

-- ' I ' = circuit current

-- ' V ' = circuit voltage

-- ' E ' = energy

-- ' t ' = time.

Now I'm ready to answer the question that I just invented.

P = I / V

V = P x I

Both of these are false statements, and can't be used to calculate anything.

P = I x V   is the correct equation to calculate electrical power.

<em>E = P x t</em>   is the correct equation to calculate electrical energy.

How much work is done when 0.0050 c is moved through a potential difference of 9.0 v? use w = qv?
quester [9]

Answer:

0.045 J

Explanation:

The work done on a charge moving through a potential difference is given by

W=q\Delta V

where

W is the work done

q is the charge

\Delta V is the potential difference

In this problem, we have

q = 0.0050 C is the charge

\Delta V=9.0 V is the potential difference

Using the formula, we find the work done:

W=(0.0050 C)(9.0 V)=0.045 J

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Because there are other elements that get in touch with it. And over time with, evolution, erosion and temperature their particles tend to mix. So what once was very common became mixed over time.

What are the two most common ways to produce hydrogen gas used in fuel cells?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Steam-methane reforming

Electrolysis of water

Explanation:

Steam methane reforming involves reaction of methane with water in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel to form Carbon oxides and Hydrogen.

CH4 + H2O ⇌ CO + 3 H

Electrolysis of water involves splitting of water through application of electric current to give Hydrogen and Oxygen gas.

2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
