Answer Notes
In electrical systems, power represents the rate at which electrical energy is transferred or consumed by a circuit. The standard unit of measurement for this power is the watt (W).
The other options represent completely different electrical properties: volts measure electrical potential (voltage), amperes measure the flow of electrons (current), and ohms measure the opposition to that flow (resistance). Only watts measure the actual energy transfer or work being done.
