what is power:
Voltage and current working together is what gives you electrical power. More voltage andcurrent will provide more electrical power. Electrical power is measured in watts.
The electric power in a circuit is equal to the voltage multiplied by the current. In other words:
watts equals volts times amps.
Watts = Voltage X Current
Current = Watts / Voltage
0.83 amps = 100 volts / 120 watts
So, if you have a 100‐watt light bulb in your house with 120 volts, the current will be around .83
amps. This is because 100 divided by 120 equals 0.83.
We will remember this .83 amps when we get into electrical safety to see just how dangerous
small amounts of current can be.
A measure of power, or voltage multiplied by current ‐ Wattage/power
