Suppose that the values of current are stored in a byte array named ‘Current’, Values of voltage are stored
a byte array named “Voltage”
Part 1:
Write a program that can calculate values Power and store them in a byte array called "Power" ?Use of
MUL instruction not allowed. You should use repeated addition for multiplication (Hint » Power =
Voltage * Current)
Part 2:
‘We can get an idea of the energy by calculating a scaled value of energy as follow (assuming time interval
between samples is small enough)
