Question

The value 100 MW is equivalent to (a) 100×10^6 w (b) 100 x 10^-6 w (c) 100 x 10^-3 w (d) 100 x 10^3 w

Answer 1

(a) 100×10⁶ W

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of doing work. Thus,

`Power=(Work\ done)/(Time\ taken)`

The S.I. unit of Power is watt which is J/s.

Mega is a unit prefix which denotes a factor of 1 million (10⁶). It is denoted by 'M'.

Thus,

1 MW=10⁶ W

The Conversion of 100 MW into W is shown below:

100 MW = 100×10⁶ W

The option that correct resembles is option (a)
