Question
What happens to the power if the time for doing work is reduced from t second to t/10 second?

Solution
The power becomes 10 times its initial value. This is because of power = work/time. Thus, power α 1/time for a given work. Reducing the time by a factor of 10 thus increases the power 10 times.
