Joules (J)
This is because work is energy transferred, and energy is measured in Joules.
Work done W = F.S, its units are force times length. The SI unit of work is Newton-meter (Nm). Another name for it is Joule (J). ==
Think of work as a transfer of mechanical energy. In any case, the units for work are the same as the units for energy. The SI unit for both is the joule.
joule
One definition of work is "Force acting through distance". The quantity of work is (force) multiplied by (distance through which the force acts). The 'dimension' of work is [Force] multiplied by [Distance]. "Newton" is a unit of force. "Meter" is a unit of distance. When you multiply a force measured in 'pounds', by a distance measured in 'feet', you get the amount of work done, measured in "foot-pounds". When you multiply a force measured in 'tons', by a distance measured in 'miles', you get the amount of work done, measured in "ton-miles". When you multiply a force measured in 'newtons', by a distance measured in 'meters', you get the amount of work done, measured in "newton-meters".
Power describes the rate/speed of the work that is being done.
Energy and work are measured in joules.
Watts. A watt is a joule per second.
Joule is a unit of work and energy equals the work to be done
As it is nothing but work done per unit charge, it is measured in volts
The rate at which work IS being done - or at which it would be done if you switched on an electrical appliance or some other piece of electrical equipment - is called 'power' and it is measured in watts.

Energy is the ability to do work. It is measured in joules.
Work is measured in several units. 1.SI Unit is Joule 2. CGS unit is erg 1Joule =10000000erg 3. Another unit in common use is Calorie 1 Calorie=4.18Joules. The unit that work is measured in is joule which is expended by a force of one newton.
Volt, even though it is a unit of work...NewtonAnswerA volt is not a unit of work. Work is measured in joules.
Energy and work are measured in joules.
Power describes the rate/speed of the work that is being done.
The SI unit for work and energy is the joule.
If you mean work as in energy it is joules (j).
Power is the rate at which work is performed or energy is converted. It is energy per unit of time. Power is work/time and it is measured in watts.
Joule is a unit of work and energy equals the work to be done
