The formula to calculate the Power Loss (P) is:
\[ P = I^2 \times R \]
Where:
AC power loss refers to the loss of electrical power in an alternating current (AC) circuit due to the resistance of the conductors and other components. This loss manifests as heat and is an important factor to consider in the design and operation of electrical systems. Minimizing power loss is crucial for improving the efficiency and performance of electrical devices and systems.
Let's say the current (I) is 10 A, and the resistance (R) is 5 Ω. Using the formula:
\[ P = I^2 \times R = 10^2 \times 5 = 100 \times 5 = 500 \text{ W} \]
So, the Power Loss (P) is 500 W.
