Work is measured in:
horsepower |

watts |
|
joules or newton-meters |
|
amps |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
