Calculating Electric Energy Flashcards

All 2 cards in this deck

What is the equation for energy transferred in a circuit, with units?

$E = I \times V \times t$: energy transferred (J) = current (A) × potential difference (V) × time (s).

True or false? In $E = I \times V \times t$ the time may be left in minutes.

False. The time must be in seconds, so minutes must be multiplied by 60.
