What is the power [tex]\((P)\)[/tex] of an electric circuit with a current [tex]\((I)\)[/tex] of 2.5 A and a voltage [tex]\((V)\)[/tex] of 120 V? The formula for power is [tex]\(P = IV\)[/tex].

A. 300 W
B. 48 W
C. [tex]\(48 \Omega\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(300 \Omega\)[/tex]



Answer :

Certainly! To find the power [tex]\( P \)[/tex] of an electric circuit, we can use the formula:

[tex]\[ P = IV \][/tex]

where:
- [tex]\( I \)[/tex] is the current in amperes (A)
- [tex]\( V \)[/tex] is the voltage in volts (V)

Given the values:
- [tex]\( I = 2.5 \)[/tex] A
- [tex]\( V = 120 \)[/tex] V

We can substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ P = 2.5 \text{ A} \times 120 \text{ V} \][/tex]

By performing the multiplication, we get:

[tex]\[ P = 300 \text{ W} \][/tex]

Therefore, the power [tex]\( P \)[/tex] of the electric circuit is:

A. 300 W
