Power Calculator

🛹 Work, energy & power. Use the Power formula to find power, energy transferred, time: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.

P=EtP = \dfrac{E}{t}
Power25 W

Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.

Worked example

Find the power when Energy transferred = 100 J, Time = 4 s.

Using P = E/t: Power = 25 W.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Power?

P = E/t.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Power in W, Energy transferred in J, Time in s.

How do you calculate power?

Put the values into P = E/t. For example, with Energy transferred = 100 J, Time = 4 s, power = 25 W.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (power, energy transferred, time) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
