Answer: Hi!
Power is the rate of work by unit of time.
it means that: power = [tex]\frac{work}{time}[/tex]
So the correct answer is "how much work can be done in a given time"
You can see this because the unit of power is the watt, and a watt is [tex]\frac{kg*m^{2} }{s^{3} }[/tex] or joule per second.
