In a simple electric circuit,

voltage is defined as the work

V = W/q

Current is also defined as the

amount of charge passing

I = q/t

Multiplying V and I, we get

VI = W/q . q/t =
W/t =P
Therefore:
P = VI

In a simple electric
circuit, electric power is the
product of current and voltage.

Power = Voltage x Current
