P = V x I — Power (P) is the product of voltage (V) and current (I).

Q: If a motor operates at 120V and draws 5A, what is its power consumption?

600 W — P = V x I = 120V x 5A = 600W

Q: What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance?

Ohm's Law (V = I x R) — Ohm's Law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

Q: In a series circuit, what is constant?

Current — Current remains the same throughout a series circuit.

Q: In a parallel circuit, what is constant?

Voltage — Voltage remains the same across all branches in a parallel circuit.

Q: What does 'V' represent in the power formula P=VI?

Voltage — 'V' represents Voltage in the power formula.

Q: What does 'I' represent in the power formula P=VI?

Current — 'I' represents Current in the power formula.
