power is the product of voltage and current.so we can
measure the value of power just by using ammeter and
voltmeter.......then why do we use a wattmeter?

Answer Posted / smita

RIGHT POWER IS VOLTAGE X CURRENT BUT FROM THIS WE GET ONLY
APPERENT POWER,AND WE REQIRE REAL POWER I.E VOLTAGE X
CURRENT X POWE3R FACTOR AND FOR THAT WE REQUIRE WATTMETER
