Water analogy is an easy way to understand:

Voltage: pressure, how hard the electric charge is being pushed.

Current: volume, how much water is being pushed, the amount of charge.

Power: the end result. How much force the water has when it hits, over time. 12V x 10A for 1 hour = 120Wh. You can also remove the time factor and talk about the moment it’s being measured: 12V x 10A = 120W at that exact moment.
