So uhh, I realized today that some of my basics are shaky. Lets say you have a device that consumes 10W of power, and it runs for 5 hours. Did it consume 50 watts? What if it ran for 5 seconds? Now lets say you have a resistor that is 1000 Ω, running at 10 V. P = V^2/R so 10V^2/1000Ω = 1 W. If this resistor runs for 5 hours, is that 5 watts consumed?
I feel like I'm over thinking this.
