On the bottom because I can
see that you couldn't see it.
-
Okay, when we first started this
problem we were given Vs Is and that
-
the resistances and we were asked to find
all of the currents which we just did.
-
Now we'd like to be able to find
the power from this particular source.
-
Well, how do I find power?
-
Let me look in my toolbox of
possible equations to use.
-
Here we used Kirchoff's Law.
-
And here is how we, and
this is how we calculate power.
-
So when I had Kirchhoff's Law I
knew my current source and
-
my voltage source and my resistance and
I was able to calculate current.
-
Now, if I want power,
I need to have one of these three things.
-
I need to have voltage
difference in the current, or
-
voltage difference in resistance,
or current in resistance.
-
Here I have,
can I have voltage difference and current?
-
I certainly have current, I've got I but
I don't have voltage difference.
-
So how can I get voltage difference?
-
Well, there are several tools that I
have for getting voltage difference.
-
And this is actually the one
that I'm going to use.
-
If I have, oops, is that the one I want?
-
Sure, voltage difference is
current times resistance.
-
So I have current, and I have resistance.
-
Right here I have current and resistance,
so I can get voltage difference.
-
So watch how I'm going
to solve this problem.
-
I'm going to use Kirchoff's Law with
my known sources to find current.
-
And then I'm going to use my current and
resistance to find voltage difference.
-
And then, kind of here in a line,
-
I'm going to use my voltage difference and
my resistance to find power.
-
So let's see how we do that.
-
Let's flip this over.
-
Okay, now I know I one,
two, three, and IX.
-
I also know my resistances.
-
So the next thing I'm going to do.
-
Remember I use my
Kirchoff's Law to get those.
-
Now I'm going to use Ohm's Law to
find the voltage difference, and
-
the voltage difference
is going to be V3 here.
-
So V3 is going to be I3 times R3.
-
That's the same voltage difference
that is across this current source, so
-
if I had V current source, let's call
it VS2, that would be equal to V3.
-
Now, I've used my Kirchoff's Law
to find my current.
-
I've used my Ohm's Law to
find my voltage difference.
-
And now, I want to use my Power
equation in order to find the power.
-
So, the power is equal to VS2 times Is,
-
which is equal to I3R3 times Is.
