The unit of
work and
power are as follows:
- Work: The unit of work is the Joule (J). Work is done when a force causes displacement in an object. One joule is the amount of work done when a force of one newton moves an object one meter in the direction of the force.
- Formula:
Work = Force × Displacement
- 1 Joule = 1 Newton × 1 meter
- Power: The unit of power is the Watt (W). Power measures how quickly work is done or energy is transferred. One watt is equal to one joule of work done per second.
- Formula:
Power = Work / Time
- 1 Watt = 1 Joule / 1 second
So, work is measured in joules, and power is measured in watts.
