Understanding Power in Circuits

What is the formula for calculating electrical power in a circuit?

• Power = Voltage + Current

• Power = Voltage * Current

• Power = Voltage / Current

• Power = Current - Voltage

In a simple circuit, the voltage is 10V and the current is 2A. What is the power?

• 5W

• 10W

• 20W

• 25W

Which of the following is the unit of power?

• Volt

• Ampere

• Watt

• Ohm
