The unit of power is watts, the unit of current is amps, and the unit of voltage it volts.
Power = Voltage X Current
Voltage = Power / Current
Current = Power / Voltage
In electricity, power is symbolized with a P, current with an I, and voltage with a V. The real formula looks like:
P = V x I
V = P / I
I = P / V

What is the Mathematical relationship between electrical power and the number of coils of wire?
There is none. There is a relationship between voltage and current and turns ratios in a transformer. But this rule remains - power in = power out. You don't get anything for free.
Why in a circuit using power I equals Watts divided by Volts when you increase voltage the current will reduce so why does this differ from Ohms law when you increase voltage the current increases?
When you increase voltage (V) then, to get the same total power (W), the current (I) must be decreased. This result comes from the Power Law: Power = voltage x current Ohms Law does not deal with power at all, it deals only with the relationship between voltage, resistance and current: Voltage = resistance x current
Why does a ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current in the circuit?
Because V = I x R or Voltage = Current x Resistance. Since resistance is linear there is a linear relationship between Current and voltage. If you have DC voltage you have DC current and if you have AC Voltage you have AC current. Note that there is a linguistic recognition of this relationship in that the voltage is described in terms of the current.
What is the relationship between motor speed and power factor?
Power factor is the ratio of apparent versus true power. It depends on the phase angle between voltage and current, and is the cosine of that phase angle. This occurs because a motor is an inductive (reactive) load, constituting a stored energy device. In an inductor, current lags voltage. In a capacitor, current leads voltage.
What equation relates power to current and resistance?
Power = (current) times (voltage)Current = (Power) divided by (voltage)Voltage = (Power) divided by (current)
How do you find the voltage?
Using Ohm's law, you can find voltage if power is given. The equation needed to solve for power is P(Power)= Voltage(E) x Current(I). Ohm's Law describes the relationship between resistance, current, power, and voltage.

How is power and voltage related?
in ac circuits power,P=VICOS@ @ is the angle between voltage and current. in dc P=VI V is the voltage I is the current. Power (in Watts) is current (A) x voltage (V)
What kind of relationship can be concluded about the voltage difference across a resistor and the current flowing through it?
POWER=VI. V=voltage I= current
What is difference between 0.8 leading and 0.8 lagging power factors?
Power factor measures the phase difference between voltage and current. If they are in phase the Power Factor is one. If the current and voltage are out of phase the power factor is between zero and one. You can describe the PF by saying the current lags the voltage with a PF = .8 or the voltage leads the current with a .8 PF.
How does reactive power change the Power Factor?
Power Factor is the relationship between the phase of the current and voltage which are each sine waves. When there is an inductance in a circuit the AC current waveform tends to lag the voltage. This causes a phase difference which reduces the Power Factor from a maximum of one to something less.
What is the Relationship between power factor and current?
When voltage and current waveforms are out of synch the power factor is reduced. In a pure resistance load the PF is 1. When inductance and capacitance is involved the PF is from 0 to 1.
Describe the relation between the size of your source and electric current?
The current drawn from a power source is directly proportional to the voltage of thesource, and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit between its terminals.There is no relationship between the current and the physical size of the source.
What equation relates power to current and resistance?
Power = (current) times (voltage)Current = (Power) divided by (voltage)Voltage = (Power) divided by (current)
