  • In this tutorial I cover the following:

    * Power – the relationship with Voltage and Current
    * Power in watts = Volts x Amps (P=VI)
    * Power consumption in Wh = Power (Watts) x Time (hours)
    * Current consumption in Ah = Curent (Amps) x Time (hours)
    * Battery capacity
    * More energy / power efficient circuits
    * power consumption for BATTERIES

    Topics for future videos in this series:

    * Ohms law, resistance, power, energy
    * Electronic components – diodes, transistors, FETS, capacitors, digital logic gates, integrated circuits, 555 timer.
    * Series and parallel circuits
    * Op amps and feedback
