V=I*R

Substitute I*R for the V in P=V*I and you Get P=I*I*R or (I^2)*R

I=V/R, do the same kind of thing and P=(V^2)/R

You could also remember the word PIV and VIR. Much shorter.

Interesting always the differences in the quotation for volts.

In the Netherlands U stands for volts
In English countries V or E stands for volts.

While I is standard for Amps worldwide
and P for Power in Watts
