Principle of conservation energy
Energy can never be created nor destroyed - only ever transferred from one form to another
1 of 11
Efficiency
Useful energy output/total energy input
2 of 11
Wasted Energy
No device is 100% efficient and the wasted energy is always dissipated as heat
3 of 11
Conduction
Vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles
4 of 11
Convection
The more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region and take their heat with them
5 of 11
Radiation
Energy that comes from a source and travels through some material or space
6 of 11
Insulation
Something that does not conduct
7 of 11
Work Force Distance Moved
Work = force x distance moved
8 of 11
Gravitational potential energy
GPE = mass x gravity x height
9 of 11
Kinetic energy
KE = 1/2 x mass x speed ^2
10 of 11
Power
Rate of transfer of energy or rate of doing work Power = Work Done/Time Taken
