Power one

[Dominion Gold]

Formula for power ??

[morthavarian077]

P = IV, or I²R, or V²/R — depends what you already got tbh

[irisari]

P = IV is the most direct, but honestly just use whichever version you already have the numbers for.

[iristia]

Depends what you’re solving for really, but P=IV works for most basic stuff — just make sure your units line up.

[brutalchoper]

yeah p=iv works best if u already got those numbers fr

[novaesse]

if you’re doing DC it’s straightforward, just multiply current and voltage — if it’s AC you’ll need the power factor too

[Thoxki]

If it's AC, don't forget that power factor or you'll get the wrong real power

[vorna]

They already covered the main ones tbh, but if you're stuck without direct V or I, P = E/t works too — just energy over time.

[vextos]

P = I²R is the one I reach for most tbh, saves me a step when I already know the current and resistance.

[Wickry]

If you’re just starting out, P = V × I is the one you’ll use 90% of the time — keep it simple and worry about power factor later.

[thoxique585]

P = V × I is the bread and butter for sure, just gotta remember it’s for DC or purely resistive AC loads — throw in some reactance and that power factor creeps in lol
