 WHAT IS POWER?

In physics, power is the rate of

doing work or of transferring heat
, the amount of energy transferred
or converted per unit time. Having
no direction, it is a scalar quantity.
 Having no direction, it is a scalar
quantity. In the International System
of Units, the unit of power is the joule
per second (J/s), known as the watt in
honour of James Watt, the
eighteenth-century developer of the
condenser steam engine. Another
common and traditional measure is
horsepower (comparing to the power
of a horse).
Another common and traditional measure is
horsepower (comparing to the power of a
horse). Being the rate of work, the equation
for power can be written:

Power =Work/Time
The output power of an electric motor is
the product of the torque that the motor
generates and the angular velocity of its
output shaft. The power involved in
moving a vehicle is the product of the
traction force of the wheels and the
velocity of the vehicle
As a physical concept, power requires both a
change in the physical system and a specified
time in which the change occurs. This is
distinct from the concept of work, which is
only measured in terms of a net change in the
state of the physical system.
 UNITS

• The dimension of power is energy divided by time. The SI unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal
to one joule per second. Other units of power include ergs per second horsepower (hp), metric
horsepower and foot-pounds per minute.
• Power, as a function of time, is the rate at which work is done, so can be expressed by this equation:
• P=dW/dt
• where P is power, W is work, and t is time. Because work is a force F applied over a distance x.
• W=F⋅ x
