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.
