- Density to water mass
- SHC and temperature change
- Efficiency and electrical input energy
- Operating resistance
- GPE and unused distance data
- Kinetic and elastic energy with a squared-speed comparison
- Power limits and non-overlapping load schedules
- Closed shift-energy budget
- Evaluating claimed operating times
About this activity
An emergency field station must light a shift, warm water and lift supplies within separate electrical power and energy limits.
Before you start
After teaching the listed GCSE equations, efficiency, SI prefixes, time conversions and energy-transfer principles.
A question from the worksheet
Question6(c), pupil page6
Does a900000J usable pack cover six hours of24W lighting,336000J heating input and25200J lifting input?
Show the answer
Lighting needs518400J. Total879600J leaves20400J, but equipment must also be scheduled to stay below600W.
Common error: Adding useful heater output to the budget instead of its electrical input, or confusing enough energy with enough power.
