14.3 Electrical Power

The power of an appliance is...

• the amount of voltage going through it 
• the amount of energy transferred per second
• the amount of charge that passes through per second

Electrical power can be calculated using

• Resistance x Voltage
• Voltage x Current 
• Voltage ÷ Current
