Home is Where the Power is


One of the main aspects of this world is that most materials require electricity. Similar to water, electrons have a current, which is the amount of coulombs that flow over a period of time. Since electric objects use energy, they also utilize power, which in this case is a product of voltage and current. This photograph contains my DVD player. Like other American appliances, its voltage is 120 volts. Its power is 288 watts. Based on the information about the other objects, the DVD player has the third highest current and power. Since most of the objects had the same voltage, those with more current had more power since they had more charge flow.
