Question
Define power.
✓
Answer
Power is defined as the rate of doing work or work done per second.
i.e., Power $=\frac{\text { Work done in joule }}{\text { Times in second }}$
or, $p=\frac{W \text { (in joule) }}{t(\text { in second })}$
i.e., Power $=\frac{\text { Work done in joule }}{\text { Times in second }}$
or, $p=\frac{W \text { (in joule) }}{t(\text { in second })}$
