What is the practical unit of power in engineering?

The SI unit for power is the Watt, the most commonly derived unit is for electrical power definition, which is the Kilowatt.


What does conversion of electrical power to mechanical power mean?

There is no such thing as 'electrical power' or 'mechanical power' or, in fact, any other sort of power. Power is simply a rate -the rate of doing work. In SI, power is measured in watts. An obsolete unit of power is a horsepower. Although, in the Unites States, the power of an engine is usually measured in horsepower, elsewhere it is measured in watts (or, more usually, kilowatts).So, when an engineer describes converting electrical power to mechanical power, what he actually means is the rate of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.


How many ampere in 50MV?

Amperes are a unit of electrical current flow, in coulombs per second. Volts are a unit of electrical potential difference, in joules per coulomb. The two units can not be converted without some intervening device characteristic such as resistance or power.


The ohm is the unit of measurement of quantity of positive electrical charges?

Ohm is a unit of measurement for resistance. The term ohm was named after a German physicist named Georg Simon Ohm.


What is the unit that electrical power is measured in?

Answer: In SI, all forms of energy is measured in joules. An alternative, but non-SI, unit is the kilowatt-hour. A kW.h is equivalent to 3.6 million joules.In the UK, energy companies charge their consumers 'per unit', rather than 'per kilowatt hour'. In this context, a 'unit' is short for 'Board of Trade Unit', and is used to measure the consumption of electrical energy. A unit is exactly equal to a kilowatt hour, which is the amount of energy consumed, over a period of one hour, at a rate of one kilowatt.Answer: It depends what aspect of electricity you want to measure. The above answer is for energy; however, in electricity you also use other units including ampere (to measure current), volts (to measure voltage), ohms (to measure resistance or impedance), hertz (to measure frequency), and several others.

What are the S.I unit of electrical power?

Power is simply the rate of doing work or of heat transfer. Accordingly, there is no such thing as 'electrical' or any other sort of power. Power is simply a rate, and its unit of measurement is the watt (symbol: W).


Is 8 amps equals 1.5hp?

You can't compare that. Ampere is a unit of electrical current; horse power is a unit of power.


What is a very basic procedure you should use to prevent electrical shock when you are about to work on an electrical unit?

If the power is on that gives this unit electricity, than you must keep all metal away from it, for it may cause an electrical shock. If you are working on the electrical unit and you need to use metal, then shut the power down.
