The instantaneous power supplied to a circuit is a product of the _ and _.

Correct answer: A. Instantaneous current, instantaneous voltage

  • A. Instantaneous current, instantaneous voltage
  • B. Instantaneous power, instantaneous voltage
  • C. instantaneous voltage, instantaneous conductance
  • D. Instantaneous current, instantaneous power

Explanation

The instantaneous power (P) supplied to a circuit is the product of the instantaneous current (I) and instantaneous voltage (V):P = V x IThis is known as the power equation, and it shows that power is the product of the voltage and current at any given instant in time

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
