Potential energy, kinetic energy, and power

A heat engine’s COP, or Coefficient of Performance, is the most important way to measure how efficient it is. You cannot compare heat pumps, fridges, and air conditioners without it. If you have a water heater with an efficiency rating of 3.5, it’s much better than having a water heater with an efficiency rating of […]

A defibrillator shocks a patient’s heart back to the normal rhythm. All of us have witnessed this procedure in popular culture. A person is instructed to give 400 joules to resuscitate a person who is about to die. A capacitor actually houses the energy that the defibrillator delivers to the dying person. SI energy is

Gravitational potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. An item at the Earth’s surface with a constant gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² is the most common application of gravitational potential energy. Since gravitational potential energy – zero can be chosen anywhere (just the same as

The geothermal (ground-source) heat pump (GHP) is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy applications in the world. GHP has seen a 10% annual growth in about 30 countries over the past 10 years. Since it works with groundwater between 5℃ and 30℃, it can be used in every country in the world.  Much of this

An engine is a designed machine that converts various forms of energy into mechanical energy. Engines can function based on fuel combustion or electricity. Some examples of fuel combustion are cars, trains and aeroplanes. Fans, power tools and small appliances are a few examples of electric engines. The different types of engines are differentiated by

The UC power is stored in the capacitor electrostatic power and is related to charging Q and voltage V between the capacitor plates. A charged capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates. As the capacitor is charged, the electric field increases. From the definition of electrical energy as energy per unit, one

Consider the example of a pendulum. When it is at its mean posture, it is said to be at ease. It’s in motion while it’s moving towards its extreme position, and it comes to a complete stop as soon as it gets to its extreme position. Simply put, harmonic motion is the continuous exchange of

What exactly is nuclear energy? Nuclear energy is the energy located in the centre of an atom. An atom is a tiny particle that forms solids, liquids, and gases. The inside of an atom is filled with neutrons and protons, surrounded by electrons. Protons have a positive electric charge, electrons have a negative charge, and

Energy consumption may be defined as the usage of a given quantity of energy or power output for a specific duration of time. In the case of biological living beings, this might refer to the energy consumption associated with the consumption of electrical power supplied by power plants, or it can refer to the energy

Generally Electric potential energy, is potential energy (measured in joules) that obtain from conservative Coulomb force and is related with the configuration of a particular set of point charges within a specified system. An item may have an electric potential energy by virtue of two key factors: Its own electric charge and its relative position
