Electrical power is commonly measured in watts (W), which represents the rate at which energy is used or produced.
Electrical current is measured in amperes (A), voltage is measured in volts (V), and resistance is measured in ohms (Ω). Power is measured in watts (W), and energy is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
The electrical energy measured by the voltmeter is produced by a power source, such as a battery or generator, that generates a voltage difference. This voltage difference creates an electric potential that drives the flow of electrons through a circuit, causing electrical energy to be transferred and measured by the voltmeter.
A power drawn from a power source refers to the electrical energy consumed by a device or system to perform its intended function. This power is typically supplied by a source such as a battery, generator, or electrical grid, and is measured in watts.
Some common measures of electricity include voltage (measured in volts), current (measured in amps), power (measured in watts), and energy (measured in watt-hours or kilowatt-hours). Voltage represents the electrical potential difference, current is the flow of electric charge, power is the rate at which energy is transferred, and energy is the total amount of work done by electrical devices.
The units of resistance in an electrical circuit are measured in ohms ().
Watts.
Electrical power is expressed in watts or in jouls per secondAnother AnswerThere is no such thing as 'electrical power'. Power is simply a rate: the rate of doing work. Power can be measured in watts (in the SI system) or in horsepower (in the Imperial system). There is no reason why the power of a heater can't be measured in horsepower or the power of a car can't be measured in watts.
Lots of units are used to measure electricity, depending on what aspect you want to measure. For example: Voltage is measured in volts Current is measured in amperes Resistance (as well as impedance) is measured in ohms Power is measured in watts Capacitance is measured in coulomb Inductance is measured in henries etc.

Electrical power can also be measured in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW).
There is no such thing as 'electrical power' or 'mechanical power' or, in fact, any other sort of power. Power is simply a rate -the rate of doing work. In SI, power is measured in watts. An obsolete unit of power is a horsepower. Although, in the Unites States, the power of an engine is usually measured in horsepower, elsewhere it is measured in watts (or, more usually, kilowatts).So, when an engineer describes converting electrical power to mechanical power, what he actually means is the rate of converting electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Electrical power is also measured in Watts.
The rate at which work IS being done - or at which it would be done if you switched on an electrical appliance or some other piece of electrical equipment - is called 'power' and it is measured in watts.
Electrical energy is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This unit represents the amount of energy consumed by an electrical device operating at a power of one kilowatt for one hour.
