Document Summary

And similarly, every coulomb of charge loses 12 joules of electric potential energy as it passes through the external circuit. The loss of this electric potential energy in the external circuit results in a gain in light energy, thermal energy and other forms of non-electrical energy. ) This does not have to be sinusoidal wave, can be a triangle or square wave also. In a current vs time graph, the period is the distance (time; secs) between corresponding points, frequency = 1/period in hz. Passive sign convention: positive current flows in the direction of voltage drop across a component. If power is positive the component is a consumer, if its negative it is a generator. Car a is generating power while car b is consumer power. *note: ideal wire the voltage drop is 0 / same voltage throughout the wire (no electric potential difference between any 2 points in the wire)
