WORK, ENERGY & POWER
2
Work A measure of the amount of energy transformed from one form to another For example, work is done when energy is used to move something or produce heat or light Units: Joules (J) A measure of the amount of energy transformed from one form to another For example, work is done when energy is used to move something or produce heat or light Units: Joules (J)
3
Energy Energy is the ability to do work Units: Joules (J) Energy is the ability to do work Units: Joules (J)
4
Potential Energy Stored energy Examples: Gravitational Elastic chemical Stored energy Examples: Gravitational Elastic chemical
5
Kinetic Energy Energy of objects in motion Heat and light are forms of kinetic energy Energy of objects in motion Heat and light are forms of kinetic energy
6
Electrical Energy Electrical energy can be transformed into many other kinds of energy Examples: heat, light, sound, mechanical energy Electrical energy can be transformed into many other kinds of energy Examples: heat, light, sound, mechanical energy
7
Power The rate at which work is done (more work in less time = more power) Units: Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) The rate at which work is done (more work in less time = more power) Units: Watts (W) or kilowatts (kW)
8
Formulas P = power (W) E = Energy (J) T = time (s) V = volts (V) I = current (A)
9
Sample Problems p. 340 1. P = P = = 686 W 1. P = P = = 686 W
10
2. E = Pt = 45 W x (28 x 60)s = 75 600 J 2. E = Pt = 45 W x (28 x 60)s = 75 600 J
11
4. P = VI = 0.42 V x 1.8 A = 0.76 W 4. P = VI = 0.42 V x 1.8 A = 0.76 W
12
5. V = = = 14.2 V 5. V = = = 14.2 V
