Output
Power

$$P = V X I. $$

Here P is power in watts. V is voltage in volts. I is current in amps.

Equations

The equation can be rearranged using algebra.

 

$$P = V X I$$

$$V = P / I$$

$$I = P / V$$

 

Application

This tool allows you to easily calculate power if you know current and voltage.
