Question

The rate of energy transfer by work is called power. a)-True b)-False

Answer 1

Yes the statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred by an object on account of work done.

Mathematically

`Power=(dE)/(dt)`

An object that does work loses it's energy while an object on which work is done gains energy.

Power is often dependent on the type of energy transfer thus we have Electrical Power, Mechanical Power depending on the type of energy involved in the system.

Concept of power is important since it gives us a measure of how fast energy can be derived to given to a system.
