Exam Favourite
Electrical power and energy appears on almost every paper. Expect calculation questions, unit conversions, and "explain" questions about energy efficiency.
What examiners love to ask:
- Calculate power using P = IV, P = I²R, or P = V²/R
- Calculate energy transferred using E = Pt
- Calculate running cost using E = P(kW) × t(hours) × price
- Explain why the National Grid uses high voltage (Higher tier)
- Compare running costs of two appliances
- Choose the correct power equation given different known quantities
