Power and Energy

能量是驱动电流通过电路所需的总功。
电压升高会导致做功增多，电流增大，从而增加能量传递。
功率是能量在单位时间内被提供或吸收的速率，单位为瓦特。
功率也可以表示为元件两端瞬时电压与电流的乘积。
功率的正负取决于电流的方向和电压的极性。
根据被动符号规定，当电流从电压的正极流入电路元件，并从负极流出时，该元件吸收功率。
相反，如果电流从负极进入并从正极流出，则该元件提供功率。
电路吸收的总功率必须等于提供给电路的总功率，从而验证了能量守恒定律。
对于一个元件，其吸收或提供的能量是瞬时功率的积分。
如果一台磁带播放机消耗恒定电流，则可根据电池的参数和功率-能量关系，计算出该播放机的运行时间。

电力和能源

传递到元件中的功率和能量是电气工程领域中具有重要意义的课题。众所周知，100瓦的灯泡能够比60瓦的灯泡发出更多的光。因此，功率和能量的计算在电路分析中起着至关重要的作用。

可以将功率定义为消耗或吸收能量的时间速率，以瓦 (W) 为单位来对其进行量化。功率和能量之间的关系在数学上表示为:

<img alt="Equation1" src="/files/ftp_upload/15065/15065_PT_Equation_1.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 36px;"> 其中“p”代表功率，单位为瓦 (W)，“w”代表能量，单位为焦耳 (J)，“t”代表时间，单位为秒 (s)。 与流经电路内元件中的电流相关的功率是位于该元件两端的电压与流经该元件电流的乘积。当电流在电压的正极端子处进入到电路元件中并在负极端子流出时，它便遵循无源定律。在此定律中，电压会沿着与电流指示相同的方向来推动正电荷。因此，通过将元件的电压乘以元件的电流所计算出的功率能够表示为由元件所接收的功率。该功率有时被称为“元件的吸收功率”或“元件的消耗功率”。重要的是，元件所接收到的功率可以正值或负值的方式来进行表示，这具体取决于元件中电压和电流的实际值。 另一方面，当不遵守无源定律时，电流在电压的负端子处会进入到电路元件中，并在正端子处离开。在这种情况下，电压沿着与电流指示相反的方向来驱动正电荷。因此，当元件中电压和电流不符合无源定律时，那么将会用这些值进行相乘来计算出功率代表元件所提供的功率。与接收功率类似，其中提供的功率可以是正的或负的，这具体取决于元件的电压和电流的具体值。

对于一个元件所接收到的功率与该元件所提供的功率，它们之间的关系可以表示为:

<img alt="Equation2" src="/files/ftp_upload/15065/15065_PT_Equation_2.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 14px;"> 
当元件电压和电流符合无源约定时，那么元件所接收到的能量能够由以下公式得出：
<img alt="Equation3" src="/files/ftp_upload/15065/15065_PT_Equation_3.svg" style="text-align: center; height: 64px;"> 
将能量定义为做功的能力，同时以焦耳 (J) 来进行表示。

关键术语与概念

circuit power, absorption, and supply

Circuit power, absorption, and supply explain how much energy an element uses or delivers in an electric circuit. These ideas matter in electrical engineering because power and energy calculations help describe circuit behavior. A 100-watt light bulb, for example, emits more light than a 60-watt bulb, so wattage is a useful measure in real devices.

Power is the time rate of expending or absorbing energy. It is measured in watts, written as W. The relation between power and energy uses the variables p for power in watts, w for energy in joules, and t for time in seconds.

For a circuit element, power is found by multiplying the voltage across the element by the current through it. When current enters the positive terminal of the voltage and leaves the negative terminal, the passive convention is used. In this case, the voltage pushes positive charge in the same direction as the current.

Under the passive convention, the product of voltage and current gives the power received by the element. This is also called absorbed power or dissipated power. The received power can be positive or negative, depending on the actual voltage and current values.

If the current enters at the negative terminal and leaves at the positive terminal, the passive convention is not followed. Then the voltage drives positive charge opposite to the current direction. In that case, the product of voltage and current represents the power supplied by the element, and this supplied power can also be positive or negative.

The power received by an element and the power supplied by the same element are related. When voltage and current follow the passive convention, the energy received by the element is given by the power-energy relation over time. Energy is the capacity to perform work, and it is measured in joules, or J.

Circuit Power, Absorption, and Supply

charge and current

Electric Charge in Circuits

Electric charge in circuits explains how charged particles behave in matter and how current is produced. Everyday static effects, like a wool sweater sticking to the body or a shock from a carpet, show charge in action. Charge is an inherent property of atomic particles and is measured in coulombs (C). Matter is made of atoms with electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons carry a negative charge (-e), and protons carry a positive charge (+e). These two charges have the same magnitude. An...

voltage

Voltage in Electric Circuits

Voltage in electric circuits is the energy needed to move electric charge between two points. It is also called electromotive force, or EMF. In most circuits, an external force such as a battery provides this energy for electron movement in a conductor. The voltage between points a and b is written as v_ab. It is defined as the work, or energy, needed to move a unit charge from point a to point b. In the equation, w is the energy in joules and q is the charge in coulombs. Voltage is measured...

electric circuit elements

Circuit Elements: Passive, Active, and Linear

Circuit elements are the building blocks of an electric circuit. An electric circuit is the connection of these elements. In this context, circuit elements are often grouped by how they behave and whether they supply energy. One major group is passive elements. These elements do not generate energy. Common passive elements include resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The other group is active elements, which can generate energy. Generators, batteries, and operational amplifiers are typical...

circuit terminology

Circuit Parts: Branches, Nodes, and Loops

Circuit parts like branches, nodes, loops, and meshes help describe how electrical networks work. An electrical network is a system of connected elements, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and voltage or current sources. Unlike a circuit, a network does not have to form a closed path. A circuit is also made of connected electrical elements, but it must include one or more closed paths. These loops let current flow continuously, which is what makes the circuit operate. Because of this,...

independent and dependent sources

Circuit Source Symbols and Controls

Circuit sources in electrical circuits can be independent or dependent. They provide the power a circuit needs to operate. Independent voltage sources supply a fixed voltage, and independent current sources supply a fixed current. Their output does not change because of other parts in the circuit. These sources use standard symbols in circuit diagrams. An independent voltage source is shown with + and - signs to mark the potential difference. An independent current source is shown with an...

ohm's law

Resistance and Conductance in Circuits

Resistance and conductance help explain how electric current moves through a circuit. Resistors are basic circuit parts made from metallic alloys or carbon compounds. They are used to model how a material resists current and to control and regulate electrical power in a circuit. Ohm's law describes the link between voltage and current across a resistor. The voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current through it. The constant that sets this relationship is resistance.

kirchhoff's current law

Kirchhoff's Current Law at Circuit Nodes

Kirchhoff's Current Law explains how current behaves at a circuit node. A node is the point where two or more circuit elements meet. The law says the current entering a node equals the current leaving it. That balance follows the rule of charge conservation, which means electric charge is not lost at the junction. When applying KCL, currents entering the node are treated as positive and currents leaving the node are treated as negative. The currents can be added algebraically at the node, and...

kirchhoff's voltage law

Voltage Balance in Closed Circuit Loops

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law explains how voltage is balanced in a closed circuit loop. It is a basic rule in electrical engineering and comes from the idea of energy conservation. Energy can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed. KVL states that the algebraic sum of all voltages around a closed path, or loop, is zero. In other words, the total voltage supplied in a loop equals the total voltage drop across the components in that loop. A loop can be traced clockwise or anticlockwise,...

voltage dividers

Series Resistors and Voltage Split

Series resistors split voltage across a circuit. In a series setup, resistors are linked one after another. The same current flows through each resistor in the chain. To analyze this behavior, Ohm's law is used to relate voltage, current, and resistance. Kirchhoff's voltage law says the voltages around a series loop add up to the source voltage. That means the current in the circuit equals the source voltage divided by the total resistance in series. The current value can then be used in Ohm's...

current dividers

Parallel Resistors and Current Division

Parallel resistors share the same two nodes, so each resistor has the same voltage across it. In this circuit setup, Kirchhoff's current law applies. The source current equals the sum of the currents through each branch. Ohm's law helps find the branch currents from the source voltage and the resistor values. The source current is equal to the source voltage times the sum of the reciprocals of the resistances. This makes it easier to calculate how current divides in the circuit. The current...

equivalent resistance

Delta-Wye Network Conversion

Delta-wye network conversion helps analyze resistor circuits that are not arranged in simple series or parallel paths. These three-terminal equivalent networks use the wye (Y), also called tee (T), and the delta (Δ), also called pi (π), as practical circuit models. These networks are useful in many circuit settings. They appear in three-phase electrical systems, electrical filters, and matching networks. They can also be used on their own or combined with more complex circuits. A delta...

design example: resistive touchscreen

Resistive Touchscreen Voltage Mapping

A resistive touchscreen uses voltage mapping to locate a finger touch on a mobile device. It is built from two metallic layers. The top layer is flexible, and the bottom layer is rigid. A narrow gap separates them, and the high resistance between the layers is an important part of the design. When a user touches the screen, the two layers meet at one point. That contact point is called the touchpoint. The touch lowers the resistance between the layers at that spot and changes the electrical...
