Question
Differentiate between energy and power.
✓
Answer
| Energy | Power |
| 1. Energy of a body is its capacity to do work. | (i) Power of a source is the energy spent by it in 1s. |
| 2. Energy spent does not depend on time. | (ii) Power spent depends on the time in which energy is spent. |
| 3. S.I unit of energy is joule (J). | (iii)S.I unit of power is watt (W) |
