1. Expression of electrical power
1.1 Continuous power
The power P consumed by a load Z is equal to the product of the voltage U across the load and the current I flowing through it (figure 1 ):
with :
- U :
-
voltage expressed in volts (V)
- I :
-
direct current intensity expressed in amperes (A)
- P :
- power consumption expressed in watts...
