MCQ
One watt is equal to __________?
  • A
    One kilowatt per second.
  • B
    One kilo joule per second.
  • C
    One joule per second.
  • D
    One joule per minute.

Answer

  1. One joule per second.

Explanation:

Watt is the SI unit of power.

$\text{Power}=\frac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}$.

The SI unit of work done is the same as energy, that is, joule and that of time is seconds. Therefore, one watt is equal to one joule per second.
