Solution

The option that is equal to ten watts is "10 joules per second".

Here's why:

Watt is the unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) and it is defined as one joule per second. Power in physics is the amount of work done, or energy transferred, per unit time. So, if you have 10 joules being transferred every second, that's equivalent to a power of 10 watts.

The other options are not equivalent to ten watts.

  • 10 amperes is a unit of electric current, not power.
  • 100 joules per minute would be a power of approximately 1.67 watts, not 10 watts (because there are 60 seconds in a minute, so you'd divide 100 joules by 60 to convert to watts).
  • 10 volts is a unit of electric potential, not power.
