Answer:

Comparison

Displacement and force are factors of both work and power

Work=Force× Displacement

power=(Force×Displacement)/time

Therefore power is the derivative of work with respect to time.

Contrast

Work is defined as a product of force and distance while power is the rate at which the work is done.
