Question

How do the units of work and power compare?

Answer 1

Answer: The unit of work is Joule and Unit for power is Watt which is equal to Joule per second.

Explanation: Work is defined as the unbalanced force which displaces an object. It is also defined as the energy consumed. The units of work is Joules.

Mathematically,

$W=F.d$

Power is defined as the work done per unit time. The unit of power is Joules per second. The S.I. unit of this is Watt.

Mathematically,

$Power=\frac{Work}{Time}$

Hence, The unit of work is Joule and Unit for power is Watt which is equal to Joule per second.

Answer 2

Power is work divided by time or in other words power is juels per second and work is juels
