Calculating Power & Energy Transferred

Physics: Edexcel IGCSE, topic 2.5.6

Mains Electricity Equations

There are two equations that you need to use that show relationships between different key terms:

Power  current x voltage

Power = current x voltage

Energy transferred  current x voltage x time

Energy transferred = current x voltage x time

Test yourself on Calculating Power & Energy Transferred

  • Calculate the current given that the power is 10 W and the voltage is 4 V.

  • Calculate the power given that the current is 5 A and the voltage is 12 V.

  • Calculate the energy transferred given that the current is 4 A, the voltage is 9 V and the time is 2 s.

  • Calculate the energy transferred given that the current is 2 A, the voltage is 6 V and the time is 4 s.
