What is power? What is energy?.

What is power.

Power is how much strength is required to push an article.

Before knowing how to calculate the power, Just understand how the power is scale .

Power scaled by (W) Watt.

Power can be calculated as followed.

Power(W) =Current(Ah) * Voltage (V).

A -> amperes.   V->Volt     W -> Power

Example 1
A video uses 30 A at 12 V. Its power
requirement in watts is:
30 A × 12 V = 360 W


Example 2
A pump uses 10 A at 48 V. Its power
requirement in watts is:
10 A × 48 V = 480 W

Example 3
A light uses 1.5 A at 12 V. Its power
requirement is:

1.5 A × 12V = 18W

Example 4
If a refrigerator using 120 W requires a current
of 10 A, what voltage is present?
?? V × 10 A = 120 W

120W ÷ 10A = 12 V

And Final one : Practical  Question

If a 24 W light is connected to a 12 V source of electricity, how much current
will flow?
12 V × ?? A = 24 W

24 ÷ 12 = 2 A


What is Energy?

The terms power and energy are often confused. 
Power is the ability to do work.
Energy is the total actual work that is done. A large, strong man may have great
power but if he is lazy and sleeps all day, he does little work and produces little

energy.

What is paralell current and Serial Current in solar engery?

Parallel Current means, consider if you two batteries  in your home. Now the question is  how you will connect these two batteries parallel. Connect  Plus( + ) (Always Red sign) of one battery  and another ( + ) sign of another batteries. And Connect  Minus( -) (Always black sign) of battery  and another Minus(-) sign of another batteries. Like the below diagram. Parallel Connections  Serial Connections Connect  Minus(-) (Always black sign) of one battery  and another Plus ( + ) (Always Red sign) sign of another batteries. If you have any question and doubts please post you question in the comments .. we do answer as soon as possible . Thanks!.
