Electrical power
For a steady DC circuit, multiply voltage by current.
The key idea
For a steady DC circuit, multiply voltage by current.
P = VI (steady DC)
Worked examples
A steady DC device operates at 9 V and 2 A. Find power in W.
9 × 2 = 18
18 W
A steady DC device operates at 33 V and 2 A. Find power in W.
33 × 2 = 66
66 W
Try it yourself
A steady DC device operates at 26 V and 8 A. Find power in W.
A steady DC device operates at 56 V and 14 A. Find power in W.

Answers and marking notes
- 208 W
26 × 8 = 208
- 784 W
56 × 14 = 784
