Why isn't the Heat generated = Voltage*Charge carried?

[prakhargupta3301]

I found out that Power of an electrical circuit will be equal to the work done divided by the time T for which the power by the cell or battery is exerting to keep a potential difference V in the circuit for a charge Q.

Hence, Power= Voltage*Charge/time

Which then can be written as: Power= Voltage*Current

Now, when we want to calculate the heat dissipated, the formula is: Heat dissipated= Voltage*Current*time
But the value of current is already: Current= Charge Carried/ time
So, my problem is, why isn't Heat dissipated= Voltage*Charge carried/time*time = Voltage*Charge carried

Please help me.

It is. That is just a different way to express the same thing.

It's also lot easier to measure current than it is to measure charge.
