Exploring Different Formulas for Power Calculation

Paul Inventor 3 kicks off with a technical insight, emphasizing that there are various formulas to calculate power in electrical circuits. While he initially used the voltage across a component to determine power, he notes the existence of alternative methods involving resistance and current.

He illustrates this with specific examples: in one scenario, a resistor has a current of 60 microamps flowing through it, with a resistance of 1.1 megaohms. Using these figures, he points out that calculating power via resistance and current results in a different value compared to calculations based solely on voltage.
