Title: Student Forum: Energy Conservation at Home-More Bang for Your Buck!
Course: Open ELT106 Fundamentals of DC/AC > Section: MODULE 2: Basic Circuits & Materials, Energy, and Electricity

In this class you will learn to figure our energy calculations on your own using formulas but there are tools available on the Internet that will do these calculations. Give it a try yourself at this site http://www.csgnetwork.com/ohmslaw2.html

Remember: Electric Power in a device or circuit is equal to the voltage across the device or circuit multiplied by the current drawn by it.

First post:  Explain some of your findings in the experiment above and tell us where you could best save energy or money? What would give you the most/least bang for your buck? Do you think pulling the plug on for example, your cell phone charger would save anything?

Response to peer: On a different day, read the other students lessons and respond to one or two that you find interesting.

I will read and then rate your posts according to our rubric.
