-if the current arrow and the voltage polarity signs are
placed such that the current enters that end of the element
marked with the positive sign, then the power absorbed by
the element can be expressed by the product of the
specified current and voltage variables
-If the numerical value of the product is negative, then we
say that the element is absorbing negative power, or that it
is actually generating power and delivering it to some
external element.
Charge, Current, Voltage & Power
(a) Determine the power being absorbed by the (c) Determine the power being delivered to the circuit
circuit element element at t = 5 ms.
p =0
Power supplied: If the assumed direction of the current leaves
the assumed positive polarity of the voltage, power is supplied.
