How do the units of work and power compare?

Work is measured in joules (J), while power is the rate at which work is done. Since power equals work divided by time, its unit is joules per second (J/s), which is called a watt (W). Therefore, the correct choice is “The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second.”
