1. **State the problem:** Find the value of $p^2$ when $p=4$.
2. **Formula used:** The square of a number $p$ is given by $$p^2 = p \times p$$
3. **Substitute the value:** Replace $p$ with 4:
$$p^2 = 4^2$$
4. **Calculate:**
$$4^2 = 4 \times 4 = 16$$
5. **Final answer:** The value of $p^2$ when $p=4$ is **16**.
