What to Focus On

  • Electrical energy W = VIt = I²Rt = V²t/R (all three forms are equivalent by Ohm's law)
  • SI unit of electrical energy is Joule; commercial unit is kilowatt-hour (kWh)
  • 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J = 1 'unit' of electricity on your electricity bill

  • Power P = W/t = Vi = i²R = V²/R
  • 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second = 1 Volt × Ampere
  • Power rating (e.g., 100W – 220V) tells us energy consumed per second and the design voltage

  • H = i²Rt (Joule's law of heating)
  • Heat is proportional to i² — doubling current quadruples heat produced
  • Nichrome (Ni + Cr alloy) used in heaters: high resistance + high melting point + non-oxidizing

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A higher wattage bulb always glows brighter regardless of the supply voltage

Fuse can be connected in either the live wire or the neutral wire — it makes no difference as long as it breaks the circuit

Electrical energy and electrical power are the same thing

Memory Tips

Electrical Energy Formula: W = VIt

Power Formula: P = VI = I²R = V²/R

1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J

Why fuse is connected in the LIVE wire
