Key word for when resistor glows red - hot / increase in temperature: Power dissipated in resistor / energy transferred electrically to the internal store of resistor

Important

if 2 points have same electrical potential, then there is no p.d. between them

  • voltage between them is 0
  • no current flows through

Power is proportional to voltage. when voltage is doubled, power is doubled.


efficiency is 0 when the power output is 0

Sample

“110W, 240V lamp (power rating)

  • with a voltage source / e.m.f source of 240V, 110J of energy is transferred electrically to internal store of lamp in 1 second

in other cases when there is no mention of voltage source need to state: energy transferred from chemical potential store to internal store…
