I'm not sure there is a term other than "power"; V*A, or the vector sum of real and reactive power is equivalent to the power calculated by multiplying the voltage times the current, ignoring phase shift.
Answer
The product of voltage and current in an a.c. circuit is called 'apparent power', expressed in volt amperes, in order to distinguish it from 'true power' (in watts) and 'reactive power' (in reactive volt amperes).

What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
What is open circuit and short circuit?
Consider two points (A and B) in an electric circuit. An open circuit between A and B means there is no electrical connection between A and B. A short circuit between A and B means there is an electrical connection between A and B.
What is short circuit ratio of an alternator?
Short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required for the rated voltage at open circuit to the field current required for the rated armature current at short circuit
What is used in an electrical circuit to prevent a short circuit?
difference between p type and n type semiconducter materialAnswerInsulation is used to prevent a short current. To protect the circuit should a short-circuit fault occur is either a fuse or a circuit breaker.
What is output short circuit current?
The output short circuit current is the solar cell's current when the voltage is zero, or when it, is short circuited.
Why current source is replaced by open circuit across the terminals?
For an ideal current source, this means replace the current source with an open circuit. Resistance can then be calculated across the terminals.
What is the difference between constant current bias and current mirror circuit?
current mirror circuit produce more stability as compared to biased circuit.
How are current and resistance related in a circuit?
The current between any two points in the circuit is the voltage between those two points divided by the resistance between the same points.
A type of circuit in which current can branch off?
In a parallel circuit, current is divided between each of the 'branches', according to their resistance.
What is the phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit?
The phase angle between voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit is zero. Voltage and current are in phase with each other.
When does current stop flowing in a circuit?
Current flows in a circuit when there is a difference in electronic potential between two points.
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance will the current be at a maximum or a minimum?
Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
How do you find the power of a bulb when potential difference and current is given?
E = Voltage of the circuit I = Current in the circuit R = Resistance in the circuit Ohm's Law states that given two variables in an electric circuit, the third can be calculated: R=E/I I=E/R E=I*R Power in any circuit can be calculated by one of the following: P=E*I P=I2*R P=E2/R
What is different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
What type of circuit is it when the current flow is divided between the different branches?
This type of circuit is known as a parallel circuit.
How do you compute resistor?
The resistance in a circuit is calculated by dividing the voltage by the current (R=V/I) (Ohm's Law).
How do you measure the resistance in a parallel circuit?
You have to measure the voltage, and the current. The resistance is then calculated by using Ohm's Law.
