Understanding the Three Power Formulas in Electrical Engineering

In summary, electrical engineering is based on three power formulas: Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Laws, and the Power Equation. Ohm's Law explains the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. Kirchhoff's Laws state that the sum of currents entering a node is equal to the sum of currents leaving the node, and the sum of voltages around a closed loop is equal to zero. The Power Equation calculates the amount of power dissipated in a circuit, taking into account both voltage and current. Understanding these three formulas is crucial in analyzing and designing electrical circuits.

Hi Guys,

There are three Power formulas,( P=IV, P=I^2R, P=V^2/R) can some tell me when to use the right formula?
