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:
