This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Electric power

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Electric power.

The physical quantity that represents the rate at which electric energy is dissipated or consumed in an electric circuit is called electric power. Electric power is defined as the rate of energy transfer and is given by the formula P = VI, where P is the power, V is the potential difference, and I is the current. When electric energy flows through a conductor, part of it is converted into heat energy due to resistance. The unit of electric power is the watt (W), and it represents how much energy is consumed or transferred in a unit of time.
