In one of my questions it asks if power is absorbed or dissipated in certain voltage sources in the circuit.
I have calculated the power using P = E*I
and the current is leaving the positive terminal and entering the negative terminal. This means that the voltage source is generating power or delivering power right?
and if the current is passing into the positive terminal and leaving from the negative, power is being absorbed or dissipated right?
I always get confused on the wording, especially when it comes to the resisters.
i have in my notes (i may have written in down incorrectly) that when current is passing through the a positive side of the resistor, power is generated or it is delivering power. When it is passing through the negative side and out through the positive it is absorbing / dissipating power...
Is this correct?
