The correct answer is Watt.

Explanation:

  • The SI unit of electric power is the watt (W) or joule per second. 
  • Electric power is the rate at which electrical energy is transferred, used, or dissipated in an electrical circuit. 
  • It measures how quickly electrical energy is converted from one form to another or how much work is done per unit time.
  • It is a scalar quantity, i.e., it has magnitude only but no particular direction.
  • The formula for electric power is:
  • P = V × I
  • Where P is electric power, V is voltage across the circuit and I is the current flowing across the circuit.

Thus, the S.I unit of electric power is Watt.

Additional Information

Ampere 

  • Ampere is the SI unit of Electic current.

Joule 

  • Joule is SI unit of heat, energy and work.
