Name all 3 Wattage formulas for Ohm's Law

Definition

 

P=ExI   (Wattage = Volts x Amps)

 

P=RxI2   (Wattage = Ohms x Amps2)

 

P=E2÷R   (Wattage = Volts2 ÷ Ohms)

Term

 

  

 

Name all 3 Voltage formulas for Ohm's Law

Definition

 

E=RxI   (Volts = Ohms x Amps)

 

E=P÷I    (Volts = Watts ÷ Amps)

 

E=√PxR   (Volts = √Volts x Watts)

Term

 

 

 

Name all 3 Resistance formulas for Ohm's Law

Definition

 

R=E÷I   (Ohms = Volts ÷  Amps)

 

R=P÷I2    (Ohms = Watts ÷ Amps2)

 

R=E2÷P   (Ohms = Volts2 ÷ Watts)

Term

 

 

 

Name all 3 Amperage formulas for Ohm's Law

Definition

 

I=E÷R   (Amps = Volts ÷ Ohms)

 

I=P÷E   (Amps = Watts ÷ Volts)

 

I=√P÷R   (Amps = √Watts ÷ Ohms)

Term

 

 

You have three resistors wired in parallel in a circuit.  They are 2, 4 and 6 ohms. 

 

What resistance does that part of the circuit have?

Definition

 

1.09

 

Turn them all into fractions, find a common denominator, Add the fractions together. Invert the fraction back over and simplify.

Term

 

 

You have three resistors wired in parallel in a circuit.  They are all 9 ohms each.

 

What is the resistance of the circuit?

Definition
