To find the power \( P \), we can use the formula:

\[
P = V \times I
\]

Where:
- \( V \) is the voltage, given as \( 24 \, \text{V} \).
- \( I \) is the current, given as \( 25 \, \text{mA} \). Since power is calculated using SI units, we convert \( 25 \, \text{mA} \) to amperes by dividing by \( 1000 \): 

\[
I = 25 \, \text{mA} = 0.025 \, \text{A}
\]

Now, plug in the values:

\[
P = 24 \, \text{V} \times 0.025 \, \text{A} = 0.6 \, \text{W}
\]

So, the power \( P \) is \( 0.6 \, \text{W} \).

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How would the power change if the current was doubled?
2. What would be the power if the voltage was halved but the current remained the same?
3. How do you calculate power in a circuit with varying voltage?
4. What are the units for power in the International System of Units (SI)?
5. How does the power dissipated relate to the resistance in a circuit?

**Tip:** Always convert current to amperes (A) before performing calculations involving power or resistance.

Learn how to calculate power (P) using the formula P = V * I. Given voltage (V) = 24V and current (I) = 25mA, convert current to amperes and compute power. Suitable for high school students studying electricity and power calculations.
