Understanding Electric Power Measurement

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

Electric power is measured in ________.

volts peak load base load kilowatt hours amperes

Answer:

Electric power is measured in watts. However, from the options you provided, the closest relevant unit for measuring electric power is kilowatt hours, which is a measure of energy consumption over time.

To clarify:

  • Volts measure electric potential.
  • Peak load refers to the maximum electrical demand.
  • Base load refers to the minimum level of demand on an electrical grid.
  • Amperes measure electric current.

So, while "watts" is the direct answer, "kilowatt hours" is the best choice from your list for measuring energy usage.
