The loss of electrical energy per second is called
Correct answer: A. Power dissipation
- A. Power dissipation
- B. Energy dissipation
- C. Work
- D. None of these
Explanation
The loss of electrical energy per second is referred to as power dissipation. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, and in the context of electrical systems, power dissipation occurs when electrical energy is converted into other forms, such as heat, due to resistance in the circuit components. This dissipation results in the generation of heat, which is a common occurrence in resistive components like resistors. Therefore, option a) "Power dissipation" is the correct answer.

About Current Electricity
Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
