Power is the rate of work or energy. It has units of Watts. For an electrical circuit, it can be calculated by multiplying the voltage and the current flowing. Ampere represents the amount of electricity while voltage represents the force of the electricity flowing. We calculate as follows:

P = IV

P = 1 A (5x10^2 V)

P = 5x10^2 W
