Define average power.
Advertisements
उत्तर
A body can do different amount of work in different time intervals. Hence, it is better to define average power. Average power is obtained by dividing the total amount of work done in the total time taken to do this work.
`"Average Power"="Total work done"/"Total time taken"`
