One watt of power
One kilowatt Hour
Average power
Answers
__________________________________
★ What is Power ? ★
→ The rate of doing work or transferring heat is known as Power
★ SI unit of Power ★
- Watt ( Denoted by w) or joule per second (j/s)
★ CGS unit of power ★
- In CGS system its SI unit is Horsepower ( denote by hp)
★ Formula ★
- P = W / ∆t ( P= Power , W = work done and ∆t = Elapsed time)
★ One Watt of Power ★
- One watt is the power of an agent which does work at the rate of 1 joule per second.
or,
- Power will be one watt when the rate of consumption of Energy will be one joule per second
__________________________________
★ One Kilowatt Hour ★
- 1 kWh can be defined as the amount of electrical energy consumed when a 1000 watt electrical appliances are used for an Hour
__________________________________
★ What is Average Power ? ★
- Average Power is defined as the ratio of total work done by the body to the total time taken by the body
★ Formula for finding Average Power★
- F = V2 / R ( 'v' replaces the rms voltage)

Power is the capacity to do work.
Electric power is the rate of electrical energy consumed.
The S.I. unit is watt.
1 watt : When an electrical appliance consumes electrical energy at rate of 1 joule per second, its power said to be 1 watt.
The power of 1 watt is a rate of working of 1 joule per second.
The commercial unit of energy is Kilowatt - hour.
One Kilowatt - hour is the amount of electrical energy consumed when an electrical appliance having a power rating of 1 Kilowatt is used for 1 hour.
Average power is the total work done divided by total time.
