Q6b)ii)
They used the derived formulae to calculate the energy, E=I^2*R*T
I know how its derived, P = I*V , V=I*R so
We can write P=I*I*R
Since P=E/T , we can write E/T=I*I*R
which can be simplified to E=I^2*R*T
Instead of using the derived formula I use two different formulas, P=I*V first which gives me, 150W
Then I use P=E/T , which gives me 150*4*3600 = 2160000Joules which is a different answer then the one we get while using the derived equation. How come?
Am I doing something wrong .____. ?
