Question


Which of the following represents electrical power dissipated in an electrical circuit?


Options:
A .   I2R
B .   IR2
C .   VI
D .   V2R
Answer: Option A
:
A, C, and D

Electrical power, P can be defined as the rate at which electrical energy (W) is consumed in an electrical circuit.
P=Wt
 Potential difference, V across any circuit is defined as the electrical energy W supplied by a source for a unit flow of charge (I×t
V=WI×t 
W=V×I×t


So, power, P=V×I×tt=VI


By Ohm's law, V=IR or I=VR


Substituting the value of I in the expression of power, P=VI=V×VR=V2R


Since, V=IR, P=V2R=(IR)2R=I2R


Thus, electrical power P dissipated in a resistor =Wt=VI=V2R=I2R.
