Which term in the following does not denote the electric power în electric circuit?
Detailed Explanation:
Electric power in a circuit is given by P = VI (voltage × current).
Using Ohm's law (V = IR), we can derive two more valid formulas:
• P = I²R (substituting V = IR into P = VI)
• P = V²/R (substituting I = V/R into P = VI)
✅ Option 2 (I²R): Valid power formula.
✅ Option 3 (VI): Fundamental definition of power.
✅ Option 4 (V²/R): Valid derived formula.
❌ Option 1 (IR²): Not a valid power formula. Its dimensional analysis gives (Ampere × Ohm²), which does not equal Watt (power unit).
