When describing how power and work are similar you would want to mention that

OpenStudy (eric_d):

In my opinion..power is the rate at which work can be done. Work=F*S

OpenStudy (eric_d):

What do you think... @Mashy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Power is basically work done in "time" so P=W/t

OpenStudy (mrnood):

I've seen these questions here before - and my opinion is that it is a nonsense question. Power and work are similar in the same way that distance and speed are, current and charge, speed and acceleration. They do not have the same dimensions and hence truly describe totally different physical characteristics. They are not similar except that they both are a measure of some physical property. One happens to be the derivative wrt time of the other, but that does not make them 'similar'.
