Free Power MCQs with Answers

48 Power MCQs from Physics, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, with average power calculated over a time interval and instantaneous power found from P = Fv when force and velocity are aligned. Work includes units, mechanical efficiency, and the distinction between power and total work or energy.

  • A. Man has more power than child
  • B. Both have same power
  • C. Child has more power than man
  • D. It is a foolish question

Explanation: Wman = mgh = (40)(10)(1) = 400 JP = Wman / t = 400 / 10 = 40 wattWchild = mgh = (10)(10)(1) = 100 JP = Wchild / t = 100 / 1 = 100 watt

Correct answer: Child has more power than man
