Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is the definition of a watt, which is the unit of power. It can be represented by the equation P=VI or P=I²R, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, I is current in amperes, and R is resistance in ohms. In this case, P=1W, V=1V, I=1A, and R=1Ω. Substituting these values into the equation gives P=V*I=1*1=1W. Therefore, one watt of power is dissipated when 1 volt of electrical pressure forces 1 ampere of current through the resistance of 1 ohm.
