Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second. Power is a scalar quantity.

As a simple example, burning one kilogram of coal releases more energy than detonating a kilogram of TNT, but because the TNT reaction releases energy more quickly, it … See more

Power is related to intensity at a radius $${\displaystyle r}$$; the power emitted by a source can be written as: $${\displaystyle P(r)=I(4\pi r^{2}).}$$ See more

Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: $${\displaystyle P={\frac {dW}{dt}},}$$ where P is power, W is work, and t is time. See more

The dimension of power is energy divided by time. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other common and traditional measures are horsepower (hp), comparing to the power of a … See more
