What unit is used to measure electrical power?

The unit used to measure electrical power is the Watt. In electrical terms, power is defined as the rate at which energy is used or converted, and it is calculated as the product of voltage (measured in Volts) and current (measured in Amperes). Therefore, when you multiply voltage by current, you get power in Watts. This fundamental relationship is described by the formula P = V x I, where P represents power in Watts, V is voltage in Volts, and I is current in Amperes. Understanding that Watts directly measure the capacity of electrical energy consumed or produced over time is key in fields related to electricity and energy management.
