Work is an important physics concept as it has to do with both the transfer of energy and the use of power which are both things we deal with in everyday life.
Power = work / time
Power is a word we use all the time to describe electricity and the capabilities of various machines. Power refers to how quickly work is done.
This video describes work and power almost exactly how we learned it in class so I thought it was a helpful recap. It also ties the concepts together well; he presents work and power as being related and things that have to go together instead of two different concepts that happen to have to do with each other.
