In this lesson you will: see the definitions of work, energy and power learn to measure and compute power in simple dc circuits define power in Ac circuits see how power varies with time in Ac circuits learn how voltage and current relationships effect ac power define electric energy see the construction of a energy meter learn to read an energy meter Learning Objectives
Force = (Mass)(Acceleration of gravity) = Weight Lifting a weight requires work and dissipates energy Work = (Force)(Distance) W (Joules) = F (Newtons) X D (Meters) D Mass (M) F Power is how fast work is done Rate of energy consumption Power = Work/Time P (Watts) = W (Joules)/ t (seconds)
Source V Load Power = Voltage X V Current
P (Watts) = V (Volts) x I (Amps) If load is a resistor then:

Know load current Know load voltage Where R is resistance in ohms (W)
Measuring Power in Series Dc Circuit Es = 60 V
R 1 =10 W PR R 2 = 5 W
Load V A Ac circuits dissipate some energy as light, heat, or motion. Other energy goes to charging and discharging capacitors and building magnetic fields in inductors P = active power (light, heat, motion) Q = Reactive power (Charging capacitors, inductor magnetic fields) S = V∙I Apparent Power 2 2
Ac Power
Power wave never negative Power wave is zero twice in a period.
The Wattmeter has internal voltage and current measuring elements and displays Watts (W) Load Wattmeter Line Side Load Side To ac voltage source Current Coil Voltage (Potential) Coil Polarity Mark Circuit Implements Formula P = V∙I∙cos(q) Watts V = Rms value of voltage waveform I = Rms value of current waveform q = phase angle between V and I waves
P=(70.7)(21.21)cos(45 deg)= 1060 W Vrms = 100(0.707) = 70.7 V Irms = 30(0.707) = 21.21 A q = 45 degrees Vrms = 100(0.707) = 70.7 V Irms = 30(0.707) = 21.21 A q = 23.5 degrees P=(70.7)(21.21)cos(23.5 deg)= 1375 W Phase shift
kWh meters sum power over time interval using a rotating disk. Number of revolutions, n, proportional to energy so n = Cp x P x t Cp = meter energy constant (units kWh/rev)
kWh meter measures the electric energy we all consume in our homes and businesses Current coil Potential Coil n Indicator dials n=number of disk (rotor) revolutions
