What are the 3 formulas of power?

Answer

The three power formulas in electrical circuits are:

  • P = V × I (power = voltage × current)
  • P = I² × R (power = current squared × resistance)
  • P = V² ÷ R (power = voltage squared ÷ resistance)

These derive from combining Ohm's Law with the basic power equation and allow you to calculate power when you know different combinations of V, I, and R.
