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 / gajanan

apperent power = voltage X current,
we can calculate apperent power by ammeter and voltmeter
reading but
real power = voltage X current X power factor

to measure real power we need wattmeter
