Answer

Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or converted in an electrical circuit. It represents how quickly electrical energy is being used or consumed by a device or system. Simply put, power measures how much work electricity can do per unit of time. When you turn on a light bulb or run an appliance, electric power quantifies the energy consumption at that moment.
