(N/A) Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy consumption. One watt is the power of an agent that does $1\, J$ of work in $1\, s$.
Given:
Energy consumed $(W)$ = $1000\, J$
Time taken $(t)$ = $10\, s$
Formula:
$P = \frac{W}{t}$
Calculation:
$P = \frac{1000\, J}{10\, s} = 100\, W$
Therefore,the power of the lamp is $100\, W$.
