What Are The Relationships Between Joules, Coulombs, Amperes, Volts, And Watts



Denoting battery storage capacity in amp hours or milliamp hours is somewhat deceptive practice, but really only has any significance to electrical engineers. A 1.2volt AA battery with a storage of 2500mAh, has less energy in it that a 3.2volt cell phone battery with 2500mAh - simply on account of the voltage being higher - one could derive the amount of coulombs given the information, and thus joules available; With us not having any voltage to reference - assuming it's 1, we don't have to worry with volts, coulombs, etc.


I am not really for changing things or against, for that matter. But machines are universally described in terms of wattage consumed and output in wattage produced. You can also think about partial consumption in terms of wattage. For example, if you have a liquid pump which must pump through a valve set at 1kg. You can estimate that pump's over all energy expenditure at 24watts. In terms of batteries it probably doesn't matter to your average player. I think watt seconds would probably be more descriptive to them, but I think the quantity a battery holds probably doesn't matter unless they're also interested in learning what a joule was anyway. How much does a battery hold? Not enough, build more.Though, I definitely think that since cycle is used as a measure meant of time along side second. Then cycle should definitely be defined in game. Maybe as a mouse-over tool tip over the asteroid clock. And if using joules, then that should be defined as well.

We define voltage as the amount of potential energy between two points on a circuit. One point has more charge than another. This difference in charge between the two points is called voltage. It is measured in volts, which, technically, is the potential energy difference between two points that will impart one joule of energy per coulomb of charge that passes through it (don't panic if this makes no sense, all will be explained). The unit "volt" is named after the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta who invented what is considered the first chemical battery. Voltage is represented in equations and schematics by the letter "V". 2ff7e9595c
