How is electrical power calculated using voltage and current?

• Power = Voltage / Current

• Power = Voltage + Current

• Power = Voltage x Current

• Power = Voltage - Current

Which equation represents Ohm's Law?

• P = I x V

• E = P x T

• V = I x R

• Q = I x T

What is the relationship between power and brightness in light bulbs?

• Lower power means brighter light

• Higher power means brighter light

• Power does not affect brightness

• Higher power means dimmer light

• Halogen

• LED

• Fluorescent

What is the formula for calculating electrical energy?

• Energy = Power - Time

• Energy = Power x Time

• Energy = Power / Time

• Energy = Power + Time
