One of the first things you have to learn, before even looking at a "Power Wheel", is what letters represent the different characteristics of electricity. You would think Amps would be "A". Nope, that would be to easy. Heres how it goes:
P (Power) = Watts
I (Intensity) = Amps
E(Energy) = Volts
R(Resistance) = Resistance
How I remember these:
P = Watts ---- When I was trying to figure out a way to remember P = W, one thing poped in my mind. It stuck pretty quick. I wont spell it out for you, but if you know what p---- whooped is, you'll never forget this one. LOL
I = Amps ---- This ones tricky because Amps is the measurement of Current, so sometimes Amps is represented by "C". So, Current = Intensity = Amps ~~ C.I.A.
E = Volts ----For this one, just think E = V = E ~~ EVE
R = Resistance ----WOW!! a easy one.
If anyone has better mnemonic devices for remembering these, please post. Mine are kinda lame.
