What is the power rating of an appliance?

The maximum power it can safely operate at

What does the power rating tell us about an appliance?

Maximum energy transferred per second

Does a higher power rating mean more useful energy is transferred?

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that

Can a high power rating appliance be less efficient than a low power one?

Yes, it may be less efficient

Calculate energy transferred if Q=10Q = 10 C and V=5V = 5 V using E=QVE = QV.

5050 J

In the formula E=QVE = QV, what is the unit for charge QQ?

Coulombs (C)

Calculate power if V=12V = 12 V and I=2I = 2 A using P=VIP = VI.

2424 W

Calculate power if I=3I = 3 A and R=4R = 4 Ω using P=I2RP = I^2R.

3636 W

When should you use the formula P=I2RP = I^2R instead of P=VIP = VI?

When you don't know potential difference

In the formula P=VIP = VI, what is the unit for power PP?

Watts (W)
