Electricity Converter

An Electricity Converter is a tool that helps you convert between different units related to electricity, such as power, voltage, current, resistance, and energy. These units are crucial in various electrical engineering, physics, and energy management applications. Below are the common units involved in electrical conversions and the formulas that link them.

Common Units in Electricity:

1. Power (Watt - W): The rate at which electrical energy is consumed or generated.
2. Voltage (Volt - V): The potential difference or electric pressure that pushes the current through a conductor.
3. Current (Ampere - A): The flow of electric charge through a conductor.
4. Resistance (Ohm - Ω): The opposition to the flow of current in a conductor.
5. Energy (Joule - J): The amount of work done or energy consumed, often related to the power usage over time.
6. Electric Charge (Coulomb - C): The quantity of electricity transported or stored.
7. Capacitance (Farad - F): The ability of a system to store electric charge.
8. Conductance (Siemens - S): The reciprocal of resistance, measuring how easily electricity flows.

Important Electrical Formulas for Conversion

1. Power (P):

Power is calculated using the formula:

Where:

• P = Power in watts (W)
• V = Voltage in volts (V)
• I = Current in amperes (A)

2. Ohm's Law:

This fundamental law connects Voltage (V), Current (I), and Resistance (R):

Where:

• V = Voltage (V)
• I = Current (A)
• R = Resistance (Ω)

From Ohm's Law, you can derive other relationships:

• I=VRI
• R=VIR

3. Energy (E):

Energy is related to power over time:

Where:

• E = Energy in joules (J)
• P = Power in watts (W)
• t = Time in seconds (s)

4. Electric Charge (Q):

Electric charge is related to current and time:

Where:

• Q = Charge in coulombs (C)
• I = Current in amperes (A)
• t = Time in seconds (s)
