Best Answer

There are several equations that involve power. The basic definition of power is energy divide by time, so that is one equation. In electricity, if you have a DC current, power = current x voltage. In the case of AC, power = current x voltage x power factor (in many cases, the power factor is close to 1).

How is Albert Einstein's equation Emc2 important today?

The equation, E = mc2, is important today because it is the basic equation of nuclear physics. So for example it is used to calculate the amount of energy produced by the fuel in a nuclear power station, or the amount of energy potentially released in a hydrogen bomb. It is also important is astrophysical models of stars, where energy is provided by nuclear fusion. The equation is used alot in particle physics to calculate the masses of particles produced and to calculate the the energy needed to produce particular particles.
