What is power??

Power is the rate at which work is done.

What is the symbol formula for power??

$$ P = \frac{W}{t} $$

If velocity is the rate of change of displacement, work done is??

The rate of change of energy.

What is the unit of power??

$$ \text{watt}, W $$

What is the equation for power in terms of velocity??

$$ P = Fv $$

How is efficiency calculated??

$$ \frac{\text{useful output energy}}{\text{total input energy}} \times 100% $$

If $$P = \frac{W}{t}$$ and $$W = VQ$$ How could you write the formula for $P$??

$$ P = \frac{VQ}{t} $$

$$P = \frac{VQ}{t}$$ How could you rewrite this??

$$ P = IV $$

What is electrical power??

The rate of energy transfer per component.

What are the units for power??

$$ W, \text{watts} $$

If $$V = IR$$ and $$P = IV$$ How could you rewrite the power equation??

$$ P = I^2R $$

If $$I = \frac{V}{R}$$ How could you rewrite the power equation??

$$ P = \frac{V^2}{R} $$

Given a power, $P$, how can you calculate the work done $W$ over a given time $t$??

$$ W = Pt $$
