Power is the rate of Energy Transfer.

About Power

Power is how quickly energy is transferred from one store into another.
Energy Transfered is the same as Word Done, so power is also the rate of work done.

Equation

\[Power = \frac{Energy Transferred}{Time}\] \[P = \frac{E}{t}\]

\[Power = \frac{Work Done}{Time}\] \[P = \frac{W}{t}\]

Where:

P = Power
E = Energy Transferred = W = Work Done
t = Time
