Solution

(b) Electrical power is given by the expression, P = VI … (i)

According to Ohm’s law, V = IR … (ii)

Where,

V = Potential difference

I = Current

R = Resistance

From equation (i), it can be written

P = (IR) × I

From equation (ii), it can be written

Power P cannot be expressed as IR2.
