Basics of electricity
Current (I, measured in amperes) flows from – to +
Voltage (V, measured in volts) reflects the potential difference between a negatively and positively charged material
Resistance (R, measured in ohms) prevents flow of electrons;depends on material, distance, and temperature
Ohm’s Law: V=R * I
Ex: US uses 120V; toaster is 15ohms, so I=120/15 = 8 amps of current going through toaster
Power = V * I
Voltage fixed at 120V; so toaster has power of 120*8 = 960Watts (joules/s)
Energy = P * time (this is what you pay for)
Leave toaster on for 30min, then E = 960Watts * 0.5hr = 0.480 kilowatt hours

1ZJ = 1020 J
Global oil consumption = 0.18 ZJ/yr;so ~80 yrs supply of reserves
