Work, Power & Energy

This video explains about Work, Power and Energy

Power

Power = how quickly the energy is transferred (from electrical to heat energy)

Which boils quicker? Kettle with high power rating or Kettle with low power rating?

  • High power = Kettle heats up quickly
  • Low power = Kettle heats up slowly

Calculating Power

Power = how much energy is given to an appliance per unit of time

Power (Watts) = voltage x current
