Calculating Electric Energy Flashcards

All 2 cards in this deck

What is the equation for energy transferred in terms of current, potential difference and time?

$E = I \times V \times t$ (energy in J, current in A, p.d. in V, time in s)

In $E = I \times V \times t$, what unit must the time be in?

Seconds. Minutes or hours must be converted first, e.g. 7 min = 420 s.
