Measuring Electrical Power

Power in WATTS:
W = Watts (Power) 1 HP=746 watts
P = Watts (Power). Power=voltage x current (P= Ex I), One watt=l volt x 1 ampere
I = Amps (Current, flow), Measured in series. Current will only flow from high pressure to low pressure.
E= Volts (Pressure), Measured in parallel. A battery is a box of Pressure. Batteries do not contain Amps. Ohms Law says: increased voltage (pressure) causes increased current (flow).
R = Ohms (Resistance), Ohms Law is not math-it's a concept. Resistance will drop voltage (pressure) because it takes energy (pressure) for current to move past it
- Resistance makes current slowdown or stop.
- All loads need some resistance.
- Wires with corrosion have high resistance.
- All conductors have some resistance.
- 0LCl=Open (zero), 0Cl= continuity (everything).
- Voltage and Resistance make current.
