Hi there guys, this is the answer you all looking 4.
Add up all wattage requirements for all devices that will use the power supply and then add an additional 30%.

∙ 11y ago"...needed by a power supply?" The power supply itself, unloaded, needs very little power to be on.
If you mean to ask "How do you know what power rating to choose when selecting a power supply?" This is determined by adding up all the loads that will be attached to the supply.
For instance, for a PC you can add up all the wattage demand of the mother board + video card + hard drives + all other components, plus 30%; then select the supply with the closest wattage rating above the sum of your components.

How do you calculate wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
To know what size power supply you need, add up the wattage requirements of all components and add 30 percent.
Is the capacity of a power supply is measured by the wattage?
for sure
What is the voltage drop across each lamp?
To answer this question a supply voltage must be stated. Also the wattage of the lamps is needed.
What is the recommended wattage capacity for a power supply for?
If you have a 500 watt power supply and you want to put in a new video card. On the video card's box it will tell you how much power it needs. If it requires less power then you don't need to worry. If it says it requires more, you'll need a bigger power supply with large wattage otherwise you'll kill your computer.
What is needed to determine equilibrium price of a good or a service?

What is the pricing strategy that is needed when you are trying to maximize revenue when capacity is a factor?
increase price, decrease supply
What pieces of information are needed before selecting a power supply?
The main piece of information needed is the load wattage or amperage that will be connected to the power supply. Once this is known the power supply of a greater size that the load should be chosen. Also with this information the size of the wires can be calculated from the power supply to the load. Too small a wire will create a voltage drop at the load end of the circuit. This will cause under performance of the load.
How do you find the recommended Power Supply Wattage needed in a computer?
Hit your computer with a bat until it opens up and you can find it that way. It is ok if only 2 parts break they r likely not important
What must you match when purchasing a power supply?
The equipments power requirements, and the mains voltage. The output of the power supply must be able to deliver the correct voltage to the equipment, at the appropriate wattage. Additionally, it should be capable of operating on the supplied mains voltage and wattage.
What is an ecological footprint and how is it calculated?
-A way to determine how much of an impact you have is to determine your ecological footprint. Ecological footprint is a calculation of the total area of land and water needed to supply all of the materials produce
Is power supply and inventory are same?
No, an inventory is what is in stock; a power supply powers an electronic device and determines wattage and voltage, usually from a wall outlet.
