Do magnetic motors create more power than they consume?
No. No device creates more power than it consumes. There are always losses - friction, heat, etc. - so it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine.
How much power in watts will an led bulb consume if its energy is 6 joules?
Joules (energy) are not equivalent to Watts (power).If something converts 6 Joules every second, it is 6 Watts. If it takes ten seconds to convert 6 Joules, its power is 0.6 Watts.Multiply the Watts by the seconds to find the Joules.CommentYou do not 'consume' power. Power is simply a rate; you cannot consume a rate! You consume energy; the rate at which you consume it is power.
What is the power consumption of a capacitor or inductor?
Capacitors and Inductors theoretically consume no power. In real life, they only consume power because they have an internal resistance.
