Electric power and Commercial unit of “electric energy”
# Electric power = (Energy consumed)/Time
P = Heat/time
P = (I²Rt)/t
P = I²R ------(1)
Or,
P = (R.I)×I
By ohm's law, V = R.I
P = V.I
Again, V = RI
V/R = I
Hence, P = V×(V/R)
P = V²/R
SI unit of electrical power is
Joule/second Or watt (W)
Other bigger unit of electric power and their relation with watt
1 kilowatt = 1000 watt
1 megawatt = 10^6 watt
1 gigawatt = 10^9 watt
1 horsepower = 746 watt
# Commercial unit of “electric energy”
1) watt hour = one watt hour is the energy consumed by an electric appliances having power 1 watt in 1 hour.
1 watt hour = 1 watt × 1 hour
1 watt hour = 1 Joule/second × 3600 second
1 watt hour = 3600 Joule
2) 1 kilo Watt hour : 1 kilowatt hour is energy consumed by an electric appliances of power 1 kilowatt in 1 hour.
1 kilowatt hour = 1kilowatt × 1 hour
= 1000 watt × 1 hour
= 1000 Joule/second × 3600 sec
1 kilowatt hour = 3600000 Joule
