## Electric power and energy

### Electric power received by an electrical device

 In direct current, the electrical power (P) received by a device is equal to the product of its voltage (U) and current received (I). This relationship is then written as follows: P = U x I It may take three different forms: P = U x I U = P / I I= P / U Comment: these relations are also valid in alternating current for electric devices consisting only of resistors. ______________________________________ ______________________________________
