can any1 clue me into how u calculate the current through a resistor and the power absorbed by a resistor please!?
Calculating Current and Power in Resistors: A Comprehensive Guide
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating current and power in resistors using Ohm's Law and power formulas. Participants confirm that Ohm's Law, expressed as V = I * R, is essential for determining current (I = V/R). Additionally, power absorbed by a resistor is calculated using the formula P = VI. The conversation also touches on finding equivalent resistance in circuits, although this topic requires further clarification.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of Ohm's Law (V = I * R)
- Knowledge of power calculations (P = VI)
- Familiarity with electrical circuits and components
- Basic algebra skills for manipulating equations
- Research how to calculate equivalent resistance in series and parallel circuits
- Learn about Kirchhoff's laws for circuit analysis
- Explore the concept of power ratings for resistors
- Study the impact of temperature on resistor performance
Students, electronics enthusiasts, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of electrical circuits and resistor calculations.
