Power The popular name for Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) is s6ll energy saving bulbs. What does this mean? Filament lamps become hot when they are switched on, CFLs do not Energy is transferred to a filament lamp by the current flowing through it. Most of this energy is transferred away from the bulb by hea6ng the surroundings. The CFL is much more efficient. It transfers most of the energy to give light, not heat. The CFL uses less energy to produce the same amount of light.
Energy and Power The power ra/ng of an appliance is given on the back of the appliance. Power ra6ng is the rate at which an appliance transfers energy. It is measured in joules per second, called waas. One waa is one joule per second (1W= 1J/s) P = E/t where P is Power in waas (W) E is energy in joules (J) T is 6me in seconds (s)
Energy and Power A portable fan transfers 1800 joules of energy in 60 seconds. What is its power ra6ng? P=E/t = 1800J/60s = 30W A mains- powered hairdryer is rated at 500W. How much energy will it transfer in 1 minute? E=Pxt = 500 x60 = 30,000J
Demo I have plugged in a 40W, 60W and 100W lamp. What can you see? What does this relate to?
Calculate the power of an electrical appliance from the current and the poten6al difference C We can express the relationship between current, voltage and power mathematically using the equation: Power = Current x Voltage P=IV Voltage measured in Volts (V) Current measured in Amps (A) Power measured in Watts (W)
Calculate the power of an electrical appliance from the current and the poten6al difference C As always formula triangles help you to rearrange formula, the triangle for the Power Law is shown below: Whatever quantity you are trying to find cover it up and it will leave you with the calculation required. So if you were trying to find current, I.. you would cover I up I P V and you are left with the sum I = P V x
Calculate the power of an electrical appliance from the current and the poten6al difference C For the 40W, 60W and 100W bulbs calculate the current flowing. 0.17A, 0.26A and 0.43A What fuse should each of the lamps have?
Calculate the power of an electrical appliance from the current and the poten6al difference C If you have a filament bulb and it has a potential difference of 200V across it and a current of 0.2A running through it. At what power is the bulb operating at? P = IV P = 0.2A x 200V P = 40W
Calculate the power of an electrical appliance from the current and the poten6al difference C Perform calcula6ons involving rearrangement of the electrical power equa6on A If you have a filament bulb and it operates at a power of 60W and it has a potential difference of 240V across it, what is the current running through the bulb? P = IV I = P/V I = 60W / 240V I = 0.25A

Perform calcula/ons involving rearrangement of the Energy transferred, poten/al difference and charge equa/on: E = V x Q A/A* (HT only) The energy transferred to a unit of charge by a baaery or power supply is the same as the work done on the unit of charge. Replacing W (work done) with E (energy transferred) in V=W/Q And then rearranging, gives: A charge of 50C moves through a poten6al difference of 12V. How much energy is transferred to the charge? E= V x Q = 12V x 50C = 600J E= V X Q Where E is energy transferred in joules (J) V is the poten6al difference in Volts (V) Q is the charge in coulombs (C)
