The dimension of power in physics is expressed in terms of the base units of mass (M), length (L), and time (T). Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred over time, and it has the unit of watt (W) which is equivalent to one joule per second.
To derive the dimension of power:
1. Work has the dimension of energy, which is force applied over a distance. The dimension of work (or energy) is M L2 T-2 because force has the dimension M L T-2 and distance adds another L.
2. Since power is work done per unit time, you would divide the dimension of work by time (T).
