Which factor does NOT affect the electric power consumed by an electric device?
Question

Which factor does NOT affect the electric power consumed by an electric device?

A.

Frequency of the device

B.

Resistance of the device

C.

Voltage applied to the device

D.

Current passing through the device

Correct option is A

Correct option:  (a), Frequency of the device

The electric power consumed by an electric device is determined by the following factors:

  • Voltage (V): The power consumed is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the device.
  • Current (I): The power consumed is also directly proportional to the current flowing through the device.
  • Resistance (R): According to Ohm's Law, power is related to the resistance of the device, and higher resistance can lead to more power consumption, depending on the voltage and current.

Information Booster: 

​The formula for electrical power is:

P=V×IorP=I2×RorP=v2RP = V \times I or P = I^2 \times R or P = \frac{v^2}{R} 

Now, based on this, let's identify which factor does NOT affect the electric power:

  • Temperature: While temperature can affect the resistance of some materials (for example, in conductors like metals), it does not directly affect the calculation of electric power itself. However, in practical scenarios, temperature changes can affect the efficiency and behavior of a device, but it is not a primary factor in the basic power consumption equation.
