Calculating the Minimum Power of a Water Pump
Explanation:
What is power?
Electric circuits transport electrical power at a certain speed, which is referred to as electric power. A watt is equal to one joule per second and is the SI unit of power. Similar to certain other SI units, watts have standard identifiers: kilowatts, megawatts, and gigawatts, respectively, denote hundreds, millions, and billions of watts.
Contrary to a widespread misconception, electrical energy is purchased and sold. Because energy is just power multiplied by time, it is, for instance, sold to customers in kWh of electricity.
From the given data in the question:
Height, h = 12 m = 2 kg/s
P = mgh
P = 2 Ã 9.8 Ã 12
P = 235.2 W
