The load that is connected to the circuit is what draws the power of the electrical circuit.
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.
-- a power supply -- a load -- low-resistance material to connect the load to the power supply
By definition an electrical circuit is a route or path that starts and finishes at the same place. So there is no part of an electrical circuit that is not necessary, because if there were it would not be an electrical circuit.An electrical circuit needs a power source. Conductors to transmit the voltage from the power source to the load. The final component of the electrical circuit is the load that you want to energize.If you remove any of the components there will be an open circuit and the load will be impossible to operate.
A wattmeter is used to measure the power of a load.
The load that is connected to the circuit is what draws the power of the electrical circuit.
Because it needs to be able to cut the power to the load. That's why circuit breakers are always the first piece of equipment in a circuit after the power supply.
Amps is a measure of current flowing in a circuit. Volt-Amps or (VA) is a measure of power and is equivalent to wattage for a pure resistive load.
A series circuit has 100mA flowing through a 1.5kohm load. The power dissipated by the load is equivalent to 15 Watt. This is based on the formula, power is equals to square current times load.
A closed circuit with a power source and load.
"Open circuit voltage" is a characteristic of a battery or power supply. You measure it exactly as the term suggests ... disconnect any load from it (or open the ON/OFF switch), and measure the voltage across the terminals of the battery or power supply while it's not supplying current to anything.
No. A voltmeter measures potential difference (voltage). To measure power, a wattmeter is required. On the other hand, for a d.c. circuit only, you could use a voltmeter and an ammeter, and multiply their readings in order to calculate the power of a load.
You can find its open circuit voltage very easily with a meter, but that doesn't signify its power. For that you need to connect a suitable load (resistor) and measure the current delivered. Then power = volts x amps.
You require a power source, a conductor and a load.
If you are just using the load to pull a small amount of current, then yes a electronic circuit can be used for that. If you want a resistive load to measure voltage drop or something similar, then no an electronic circuit will usually not work for that.
It's a power outputThis answer is incorrect.A 'load' is the name given to any device supplied by the circuit. For example, a motor could be a load, or a resistor, a lamp, etc.
