Energy Conservation Principle

Question

Depending on voltmeter/ammeter terminal connection to the components, you might find different

signed voltage and currents values for the same component. This causes different signed power

values for the same components therefore we cannot state whether components generate or

absorb power. What is your solution to this chaos?

Answer 1

There is no chaos ... if a conventional current flows through a reduction in voltage, the component reducing the voltage consumes power.
