Question
*Compare the total power consumption in C1 and C2:*
All information regarding the experiment is provided below...
C1: R1 is in series with R2 and R3 in parallel (R23 parallel, R1 in series with R23).
C2: R2 in series with R1 and R3 in parallel (R13 are parallel and R2 in series with R13)
measured current I'i (mA)
*****************
*Compare the total power consumption in C1 and C2:*
I can see that power consumed by C2 is about 6.5 times that of C1. Why?
measured voltage drop Vi (V) measured current I'i (mA) power consumption (W) R1 0.39 38.5 0.015 R2 0.98 29.7 0.029 R3 1.03 10.4 0.0107 total measured voltage drop 2.4 ****************** *************** total measured current ****************** 78.6 *************** total power consumption ****************** ****************** 0.055Explanation / Answer
The total power consumption in C1 is |P1= 0.055 W. The total power consumption in C2 is P2 =0.361 W
calculate the ratio of P2 to P1:
P2/P1 = 0.361 W / 0.055 W =6.5
therefore, P2 = 6.5 P1
thus, the total power consumption in C2 is 6.5 times that of C1
