Question

Suppose an electric eel develops a potential difference of 450 V driving 0.80 A during a 1.0 ms pulse. What is the power output of the eel during this pulse

Answer 1

The power output is
`P = 360 \ W`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The potential difference developed is
`V = 450 V`

The current is
`I = 0.80 \ A`

The duration of the pulse is
`\Delta t = 1.0 ms = 1,0 *10^(-3) \ s`

Generally the power output of the eel during the pulse is mathematically represented as

`P = V * I`

=>
`P = 450 * 0.80`

=>
`P = 360 \ W`
