Electric power is defined by the equation that P = VI, where P stands for power, V stands for
voltage, and I stands for current. Using Ohm's law, V = IR, we can substitute for voltage to write the equation
for electric power in terms of current as P = I2R. What is the equation for current in terms of power?
