Power

In physics, power is defined as the rate at which work is done. So power describes how quickly energy is transferred from one system to another when work is done.

  • In mathematical terms, power is defined as the amount of work done per unit of time.
  • Power measures how quickly energy is generated or used.
  • When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to or from it, and power measures how rapidly this transfer occurs.
  • Essentially, power describes the efficiency or speed of energy conversion processes.
