Define average power.
(N/A) Average power is defined as the total work done by an object divided by the total time taken to perform that work.
Since a body may perform different amounts of work in different time intervals,calculating the average power provides a better representation of the rate of work done over a specific duration.
Mathematically,it is expressed as:
$\text{Average Power} = \frac{\text{Total work done}}{\text{Total time taken}}$
