Power is mainly a noun used to describe the ability to do something or create an effect: The committee does not have the power to implement these recommendations.
There are many specific meanings of power that depend on context, such as electrical power, power of attorney, or an influential country or nation (All the great powers attended the conference).
When power is used as a verb, it usually means supply energy to: What powers the aircraft?
Before a noun, power typically denotes the availability of mechanical or electrical power, as in power brakes or power steering.
