Power

OCR A AS Physics · 3.3.3

Explore power within work, energy and power. Follow energy transfers through a system. Work connects a force acting through a displacement to an energy change, and power measures how quickly energy transfers.

Specification outcomes (3)
  • 3.3.3(a) Define power, the unit watt, and use P = W / t.
  • 3.3.3(b) Use and derive P = Fv from first principles.
  • 3.3.3(c) Calculate efficiency of a mechanical system using percentage efficiency = (useful output energy / total input energy) × 100.
