Expert Solution
Step 1

Power set of a set A contains all the subsets of the set A.

N={1,2,3,............n}

i.e The cardinality(number of elements) of the set N= n

The subsets will be written as-

 ∅,{1} ,{2},{3},.........{n},{1,2},{1,3},.....................{1,n},{2,3},{2,4}.................{2,n}..............................................{1,2,3}....................{1,2,3,........n}

Thus  the subsets of N are formed by taking either 0,1 or 2 or 3 ..........or n number of elements from the given set N.
