    The document discusses mesh analysis and calculating DC power. It describes the steps of mesh analysis as identifying meshes, assigning current variables, writing KVL equations, solving for mesh currents, and using Ohm's law. Calculating power is explained as P=VI, where power P is voltage V times current I. Power determines if a supply is adequate without risk of overheating. Mesh analysis finds currents and power calculates load consumption.

    Power

    • For a simple practical circuit as a torchlight, the battery supplies


    the voltage (pressure) that would cause the current (flow of
    charge) to flow across the bulb (load) producing light & heat.
    The amount of power supplied to the load is then equivalent to
    output of light & heat.

    • P is the power (watt or W)
    • V is the potential difference (volt or V)
    • I is the current (ampere or A)

    • In analyzing circuits, the power consumed by the
    load has to be determined.
    • This is to
    – Ensure the supply of power is adequate
    – Avoid the risk of heating up & cause fire
    – If batteries are used, we can determine the
    replacement time
    – No waste of energy.
