Hello,
To calculate power due to a current in the uA range (say 25 uA) and a known resistance (say 50 Ohms), which is correct?
P = (25 * 10^-6) ^2 * 50 Watts
P = 25^2 * 10^-6 * 50 Watts
This has confused me because I know that a square with sides of 1cm has an area of 1 cm2, not 1*10^-4 m2, but to do it this way does not seem mathematically accurate
Thanks
