  • Calculating Power in a Circuit: Voltage, Current & Resistance
    You're almost there! To calculate power, we need both voltage and current.

    Here's how to do it:

    Formula:

    Power (P) = Voltage (V) x Current (I)

    Given:

    * Resistance (R) = 10 ohms

    * Current (I) = 2 amps

    To find the Voltage (V), we can use Ohm's Law:

    Voltage (V) = Resistance (R) x Current (I)

    V = 10 ohms * 2 amps

    V = 20 volts

    Now we can calculate the power:

    Power (P) = Voltage (V) x Current (I)

    P = 20 volts * 2 amps

    P = 40 watts

    Therefore, the power of the circuit is 40 watts.
