Solution

The correct option is C $P = V \times I$
Power is the rate of doing work.
i.e., $P = \frac{W}{t}$
We know that,
Work done in an electric circuit is $W = Q \times V$ .
$Q = I \times t$
$⟹ W = V \times I \times t$
Thus, electrcial power, $P = \frac{W}{t}$ can be written as $P = V \times I$ .
