25.4.6  Direct Current Power

 

The power of electricity is called electric power. The electric power is equal to the value of multiplying a voltage by a current. Electric power means the amount of energy consumed when a current goes through a resistance. The electric power is expressed in W (Watt).

 

The electric power at direct current is calculated as follows.

 

Electric Power = Voltage × Current     ( P = VI )

 

Then, since V = I R in the Ohm's law, substituting this into the equation above, the electric power can be expressed as follows. Here, we can calculate the electric power with the current and the resistance.

 

P = VI = (I R) x I = I2 x R  [W]

 

And since I = V / R, the electric power can also be expressed as follows. Here, we can to calculate the electric power with the voltage and the resistance.

 

P = VI = V x (V / R) = V2 / R  [W]
