maybe you can divide the volts its twelve if you do that but itll show you how much to double it by

V = Voltage in the circuit = 24 Volts

i = Current flowing in the circuit = 2 A

P = Total power dissipated in the circuit.

Total Power dissipated in a current carrying circuit is given as

P = i V

inserting the above values of the current and voltage in the above equation , we get

P = (2 A) (24 V)

P = (2 x 24) (AV)

P = 48 Watt (Since Ampere -Volt = watt)
