Power in general is the measure of how much work can be done in a given amount of time

• Power in general is the measure of how much work can be done in a given amount of time

• In electric circuits it is a function of both voltage and current similar where Voltage is the specific work (or potential energy) per unit charge, while current is the rate at which electric charges move through a conductor

• Power is equal to the Voltage times the Current (P=E*I), similar to ohms law and is measured in Watts (W)
