If the current in a circuit is .75A and the voltage is 100 volts what is the power?

please show the equation you used to solve it! thanks!

If the circuit consists of a resistive load only (incandescent, lamp,stove heating element, etc), the power being used is 75 watts. Use the following equation





W = E * I



W =100 * 0.75



W = 75





If your load has any reactance devices (motors), you must take into consideration the power factor of the load. The formula would then be





W = E * I * PF





In the first example, if the power factor was 0.6, the watts would be 75 * 0.6 = 45 watts.





TexMav

Power = Volts x amps x Power Factor.





If purely resistive load, or DC, Power Factor = 1 and power = Volts x amps = 75 watt.





If AC with reactance, then = volts x amps x power factor.

Power = VA = (100V)*(.75A) = 75 Watts

Power=voltage*current.



Therefore ans is 7500watts
