  1. power - Why can I use P = I²R but not P=V²/R when calculating energy ...

    This is the answer in the book: P = I²R * t = 3600 * 0.01 * 2 = 72 Joules You need to get a better book then because that is plainly wrong. Power does equal I²R but it doesn't equal I²R * t. Energy = I²R * t. …

  2. Why does reactive power lead to (I^2)R losses?

    Jan 2, 2024 · I read that reducing the power factor increases the current required in the lines (to deliver the same amount of useful work) and therefore increases the (I^2)R losses. Shouldn't the active …

  3. Calculating the power lost per foot from “\$I^2R\$ losses"

    Dec 30, 2020 · What you have done is applied 115 volts across the 1 foot of copper cable. This isn't what we are doing here. What you need to find is the amount of current through the cable, but you …

  4. power - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    Jun 11, 2017 · You're thinking V is the voltage between Wire A and Wire B. But it's not - here V is the voltage between one end of Wire A and the other end of Wire A (and the same for Wire B).

  5. The \\$I^2R\\$ loss in transformer is eddy current loss or copper loss?

    Jul 29, 2015 · You are confusing copper losses and eddy current losses. Generally, in transformers, I2R loss is copper loss.

  6. Transformer heat losses - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    May 28, 2021 · Eddy current loss is conductive I2R loss produced by circulating currents induced in response to AC flux linkage, flowing against the internal resistance of the core.

  7. voltage - For power loss, P=I^2R, why can't I use I=V/R to find I and ...

    Aug 9, 2019 · To calculate power loss using P=I^2R, we cannot use I=V/R, to find current and plug it into P=I^2R, instead we must use P=IV to find current, is there a reason why?

  8. Power's relationship to Resistance - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange

    Oct 6, 2015 · $$ \\frac{V^2}{R} = P = I^2 \\cdot R $$ According to this equation, Power is inversely proportional to resistance on the left side and directly proportional to resistance on the right side. …

  9. mains - When can I use the formula P=V^2/R? - Electrical Engineering ...

    Jun 18, 2016 · I'm currently learning about the transportation of electrical energy through power lines. I now know that transporting current at a very high voltage cause minimal power loss compared to …

  10. Why we cannot use P=I2R to determine the current through the cable?

    Jun 25, 2020 · Why we cannot use P=I2R to determine the current through the cable? The current flow through the cable is affected by the resistance of cable right? But when I use P = IV and P=I 2 R, I …
