The rate at which electric energy is dissipated or consumed in an electric circuit. This is termed as electric power,
P = IV, According to Ohm’s law V = IR 
We can express the power dissipated in the alternative forms
p = I2R = V2/R
If 100W – 220V is written on the bulb then it means that the bulb will consume 100 joule in one second if used at the potential difference of 220 volts. The value of electricity consumed in houses is decided on the basis of the total electric energy used. Electric power tells us about the electric energy used per second not the total electric energy. The total energy used in a circuit = power of the electric circuit × time.
