What is electric power and electric energy?

Answer»

1. Electric power: 

It is the rate at which an electric appliance converts electric energy into other forms of energy. Or, it is the rate at which work is done by a source of emf in maintaining an electric current through a circuit.

P = \(\frac{W}{t}\) = VI = I2R = \(\frac{V_2}{R}\)

2. Electric energy: 

It is the total workdone in maintaining an electric current in an electric circuit for a given time.

W = Pt = VIt joule = I2Rt joule.
