In science, power is the rate at which work is done or the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. It is a measure of how quickly something can be done. The unit of power is the watt (W), named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine.
The formula to calculate power is:
Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t)
or
Power (P) = Energy (E) / Time (t)
Understanding the concept of power is important in various fields such as physics, engineering, and technology. It helps us measure and compare the efficiency and capability of different systems and devices.
