Power Limits in Electrical Circuits

Description

Electrical power in a circuit depends on current and voltage. It is the product of these two values and is measured in watts, or joules per second. That relationship helps explain how much energy a circuit can deliver.

A car’s auxiliary power outlet is one real-world example. Some outlets are rat...

导体中流过的电流与其两端电压的乘积称为电功率。电功率的国际单位制单位是瓦特。

考虑导体两端的电势差。导体中的电场方向由高电势指向低电势。由于电势差的变化为负值,因此可以确定电场的方向。

如果电荷为正,则电场会对该电荷施加作用力,并使其在导体中移动。

对电荷所做的功等于电场力与力的作用距离的乘积。

材料以热和光的形式耗散的功率等于功对时间的变化率。

在含有电阻器的电路中,电阻器两端的电势降落以热的形式耗散。根据欧姆定律,可以计算出电阻器所耗散的功率。

对于所有欧姆器件,均可建立功率、电流、电压和电阻之间的关系。
