Chapter 2, Problem 2.16P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Average current drawn by the laptop and average rate of heat dissipation should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The mathematical expression of average current in terms of voltage and pressure is given as:

  $\text{P=IV}$

Here, P is power, I is current, and V is volts

The mathematical expression of the average rate of heat dissipation is given as:

  $\text{Q=IVt}$

Here, Q is the heat dissipated
