Find the power of each element. Which one is supplying power and which one is absorbing it?

Power of Elements

Solution

a)  Passive sign convention, P = V \times I = -8 W < 0 supplying power.


b)  Passive sign convention, P = V \times I = 8 W > 0 absorbing power.

c)  Passive sign convention, P = V \times I = 20 W > 0 absorbing power.

d)  Active sign convention, P = - V \times I = - 50 W < 0 supplying power.
