Card 1Electrical energy

State the formula for electrical energy in terms of charge and potential difference.

Answer

Formula: W = QV Meaning: electrical energy W equals charge Q multiplied by potential difference V. Units: W in joule, Q in coulomb, V in volt. Quick example: If Q = 2 C and V = 5 V, then W = 2 × 5 = 1

Card 2Electrical energy

State the formula for electrical energy in terms of current, voltage, and time.

Answer

Formula: W = Vit Meaning: electrical energy W equals voltage V × current i × time t. Units: W in joule, V in volt, i in ampere, t in second. Quick example: If V = 220 V, i = 2 A, and t = 10 s, then W

Card 3Electrical energy

A current of 3 A flows through a resistor of 4 ohm for 5 s. Find the electrical energy consumed.

Answer

Given: i = 3 A, R = 4 ohm, t = 5 s Formula: W = i^2Rt Step 1: i^2 = 3^2 = 9 A^2 Step 2: W = 9 × 4 × 5 J Step 3: W = 180 J Answer: 180 J

Card 4Electrical energy

A voltage of 12 V is applied across a 6 ohm resistor for 10 s. Find the electrical energy consumed.

Answer

Given: V = 12 V, R = 6 ohm, t = 10 s Formula: W = V^2t/R Step 1: V^2 = 12^2 = 144 V^2 Step 2: W = 144 × 10 / 6 J Step 3: W = 1440 / 6 = 240 J Answer: 240 J

Card 5Electrical work

A charge of 10 C moves through a potential difference of 2 V. Find the electrical work done.

Answer

Given: Q = 10 C, V = 2 V Formula: W = QV Step 1: W = 10 × 2 J Step 2: W = 20 J Answer: 20 J

Card 6Electrical power

State the formula for electrical power and its meaning.

Answer

Formula: P = W/t Also: P = Vi, P = V^2/R, P = i^2R Meaning: electrical power is the rate at which electrical energy is used. Units: P in watt, W in joule, t in second, V in volt, i in ampere, R in ohm

Card 7Electrical power

A device works at 220 V and takes 0.5 A current. Find its power.

Answer

Given: V = 220 V, i = 0.5 A Formula: P = Vi Step 1: P = 220 × 0.5 W Step 2: P = 110 W Answer: 110 W

Card 8Electrical power

Why is electrical power important in daily life?

Answer

Electrical power shows how fast an appliance converts electrical energy into other forms. A higher-power appliance uses energy faster. Example: A room heater has higher power than a bulb, so it conver
