    45 W

    Explanation:

    Power: This can be defined as the rate at which electrical energy is consumed in a circuit. The unit of power is Watt (W).

    From the question,

    The expression for power is given as,

    P = VI ... Equation 1

    Where V = Voltage, I = current.

    Given: V = 12 V, I = 3.75 A.

    Substitute into equation 1.

    P = 12 (3.75)

    P = 45 W.

    P = 45 Watt

    Explanation:

    The electrical power used by an electrical device or the electrical circuit is given by the following formulae:

    P = VI

    P = I²R

    P = V²/R

    where,

    P = Electrical Power Consumed by the Device

    V = The Voltage applied to the circuit or device

    R = Resistance of device or circuit

    I = Current passing through the device or circuit

    We have the following data for our circuit:

    V = 12 volts

    I = 3.75 A

    Therefore, it is clear from the data that we will use the first formula:

    P = VI

    P = (12 volts) (3.75 A)

    P = 45 Watt
