Which of the following terms does not represent electrical power in a ...
In general we refer power as P= V× I ........ and by substituting the value of I from ohm's law it can also be written as P =V× V/ R.......i.e. P=V square/ R.............. or if we substitute the value of V from the ohm's law we will see the equation as P= I × IR.......... i.e. P = I square × R therefore option a) , b) and d) is correct............ but we could not find any relation of power as IR square ......... therefore option c) is incorrect...........
Which of the following terms does not represent electrical power in a ...
The correct answer is option 'C' - IR^2.
Explanation:
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or consumed in a circuit. It is measured in watts (W) and is calculated using various formulas depending on the given information about the circuit.
Let's break down the given options and analyze them one by one:
a) V^2/R: This formula represents the power (P) in a circuit where V is the voltage across the circuit and R is the resistance. This formula is derived from the equation P = VI, where I is the current flowing through the circuit. Hence, option 'a' correctly represents electrical power in a circuit.
b) I^2R: This formula also represents the power (P) in a circuit where I is the current flowing through the circuit and R is the resistance. This formula is derived from the equation P = VI, where V is the voltage across the circuit. Therefore, option 'b' correctly represents electrical power in a circuit.
c) IR^2: This formula does not represent electrical power in a circuit. It is not a recognized formula for calculating power. The correct formula for power is P = VI or P = V^2/R or P = I^2R. Therefore, option 'c' is incorrect as it does not represent electrical power in a circuit.
d) VI: This formula represents the power (P) in a circuit where V is the voltage across the circuit and I is the current flowing through the circuit. This formula is derived from the equation P = VI. Hence, option 'd' correctly represents electrical power in a circuit.
In summary, option 'C' (IR^2) does not represent electrical power in a circuit. The correct formulas for calculating power are P = VI, P = V^2/R, or P = I^2R.
