What is the power in a circuit that has a current of 12 A and a resistance of 100 Ω?

I need just an explanation on how to do it, I basically just need to know how exactly those variables fit into the equation P = i^2R
I'm sure it's simple conversion, I just am not sure how the amps relate to i?

$P = I^2R$

$I$ = current
$R$ = resistance

Watts is Power 
Amps is Current
