Which of the following two quantities should be multiplied together to find power?

  1. A Voltage and current
  2. B Inductance and capacitance
  3. C Voltage and inductance
  4. D Resistance and capacitance

Correct answer: A — Voltage and current. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Power measures how fast electrical energy is used, and you find it by multiplying voltage, which is the electrical pressure, by current, which is the flow of electrons. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
