  1. Q1. Which expression for power uses only current and resistance?

    • A.P = I^2 R
    • B.P = VI
    • C.P = V^2 / R
    • D.P = V/I

    Answer: A. P = I^2 R

  2. Q2. Which appliance generally has the highest power rating?

    • A.a small fan
    • B.a mobile phone charger
    • C.an electric geyser/heater
    • D.an LED night lamp

    Answer: C. an electric geyser/heater

  3. Q3. Which formula would you use to find power if only V and R are known?

    • A.P = V^2 / R
    • B.P = I^2 R
    • C.P = I / V
    • D.P = V I

    Answer: A. P = V^2 / R

    Which principle settles this? Electric power P = V*I = I^2*R = V^2/R, and energy E = P*t; pick the version matching the data and substitute the listed values => P (or E) drops out as a single number; hence the answer = P = V^2 / R. Does that line up with one of the options? Yes - Correct. And the rest? option B) 'P = I^2 R' fails since That needs the current, not given here; option C) 'P = I / V' fails since That is not a power formula. Pick: A) P = V^2 / R.
