In the chapter, Electric potential energy, We found that the work
of the force that moves a charge
from the equipotential plane
to the equipotential plane
is given as:

In the equation, we considered that the voltage
is equal to the potential difference.
If we insert the expression for the electric charge (
) we get:

The unit of work is
(Joule) or
(Watt second)
Electric power is work per unit time:

The unit of power is
(Joule per second) or
(Watt).
Using equation 1 and Ohm's law
, we can write the power formula in three forms:

Let's also write the formula for work in all forms:
