https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_current
SI Unit: ampere
SI Symbol: A
Water Analogy: current, rate
`A = C / s`
Think: number of buckets per second
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt
SI Unit: volt
SI Symbol: V
Water Analogy: pressure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power
SI Unit: watt
SI Symbol: W
Watt => power consumption, "demand"
`A * V = W`
1 horsepower = 746 Watts
power x time = energy
`W * s = J`
`W = J / s`
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and_conductance
SI Unit: ohm
SI Symbol: Ω
Ohms (resistance)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb
SI Unit: coulomb
SI Symbol: C
1 C (coulomb) = 6.24 x 1018 e (electrons)
Think: 1 bucket of electrons
10 x 100-watt light bulbs => 1000 watts = 1 kW "demand"
for 2 hours => "consume" 2 kWh
12 amps at 240 volts => 2,880 watts 12 amps at 120 volts => 1,440 watts 1/12 of an hour = 5 minutes 2,880 watts for 5 minutes => 240 watt-hours (0.24 kilowatt-hours) 15.5 cent per kW => $0.0372
kWH measures energy. Joules measures energy. kWH and Joules measure the same thing.
kWH (energy) is the same thing as Joules (energy)
`1 kWh = (1000 * W * h) = (1000 * W * h)*((60m)/(1h)) = (1000 * 60 * W * m) = (1000 * 60 * W * m) * ((60s)/(1m)) = (1000 * 60 * 60 * W * s) = 3600000 * W * s`
`1 kWh = 3600000 J`
