The amount of electrical energy flowing in a circuit per unit time denotes the ___________ of the appliance.

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
The electrical energy consumed per unit time by an electrical appliance is called its power.
Mathematically, power can be calculated using the following formula, $P o w e r = \frac{E l e c t r i c a l e n e r g y}{T i m e}$ .
The SI unit of power is watt (W).
Hence, the amount of electrical energy flowing in a circuit per unit of time denotes the power of the appliance.
