    Study Notes

    Work

    • Work is done when a force causes an object to move.
    • The amount of work done is directly proportional to the force applied and the distance the object moves.
    • Work is calculated by multiplying force and distance: Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (D)
    • In the English system, work is measured in foot-pounds (ft/lbs).
    • In the metric SI system, work is measured in joules (1 joule = 1 newton x 1 metre).

    Power

    • Power refers to the rate at which work is done.
    • In electrical systems, power is measured in Watts (W).
    • For Direct Current (DC): 1 Watt = 1 volt x 1 amp
    • Power is calculated by multiplying voltage and current: P = V x I.
    • 1 kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 Watts.
    • Horsepower is a unit of work, often used to rate electrical motors.
    • One horsepower equals 746 Watts.
