Question

Average power is defined as?

Answer 1

Average power:

1. The proportion of overall work or activity performed by the body to the total time spent by the body is called the average power.
2. The unit of average power is the $\mathrm{kilowatt}\mathrm{hour}$.
3. Average power is calculated by dividing total energy spent by the total time taken.

Mathematically, average power can be represented as:

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \mathrm{Average}\mathrm{power}=\frac{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{energy}\mathrm{consumed}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{time}\mathrm{taken}} \\ {\mathrm{P}}_{\mathrm{avg}}=\frac{∆\mathrm{W}}{∆\mathrm{t}} \end{gathered}$$
