Electrical Calculations
Ohm’s law describes the relationship between current, resistance, and voltage.
As voltage
increase,
current
increases
As resistance decreases, current
increases
Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is changed into other
forms of energy
Power is measured in WATTS
Electrical energy is electric power multiplied by time. It is usually expressed in kilowatt-hours.
A KILOWATT is 1000 watts!
Find these at your house! They show the power company how much
electrical energy you use.
