Power (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

Rate of energy transfer or work done

Watts (W)

1 joule transferred per second

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

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

$E = P \times t$

1500 W

1 GW or $1 \times 10^9$ W

$W = F \times s$

$E_p = mgh$

Seconds (always convert minutes to seconds)

Faster energy transfer
