Work, Energy, and Power

In general terms, the word ‘energy’ means the ability to take action.  Scottish engineer and physicist submitted the term potential energy in the 19th century. Potential energy correlates with the effects on the body; therefore,  the total amount of work these forces exert on the body depends on the body’s first and last postures. Such […]

There are two forms of energy – potential energy and kinetic energy. This potential energy can be gravitational, magnetic, electrical, and chemical. Gravitational self-energy is the work done to bring all the particles from infinity to form an object. Under gravitational self-energy, the work done is not under acceleration. Since the gravitational force is negative,

The capacity of doing work by a body is known as energy. In earlier classes, we have learnt that there are different types of energies. For example, heat, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, gravitational, and solar are all types of energy. The SI unit of energy is the joule. Since our topic is mechanical energy, we will

We have seen that any object on which work is done has an amount of mechanical energy. If it is stationary, like a poised pile driver, it is said to have potential energy. We define potential energy as the energy possessed by reason of level or position. The energy we spend in moving about is

Introduction The ability to do work is called energy. Energy is required for every object to perform the job, and even when the object is at rest, it requires energy. Energy is such an important factor. The SI unit of energy is Joule. There are different forms of energy, such as kinetic energy and potential

In more technical terms, ionisation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy that an electron in a gaseous atom or ion must absorb to escape the influence of the nucleus. It is also known as ionisation potential and is typically an endothermic process. We can also conclude that ionisation energy provides information about

In this article, we will learn about the object’s electric potential, the factors that affect an object’s electric potential, electric potential due to a point charge, and electric potential due to multiple charges. The electric potential refers to the quantity of work required to shift a charge to a certain specific point from a reference

The energy stored in the object that depends upon the position of various parts of that object or system is the potential energy of that system. In simpler words, it is the energy possessed by a body at rest and the actual potential energy of an object depends on its position relative to other objects. Electric potential

Introduction Elastic Energy Elastic potential energy is the energy that is conserved as a consequence of exerting force to distort an elastic object. The energy is held until the force is withdrawn, at which point the item returns to its previous shape while performing work. The object may be compressed, stretched, or twisted as a

Energy is the ability to do work. Before understanding the concept of potential energy, we must be familiar with the background of energy.  Whatever happens in the world or around us requires the use of energy. It can be stored or transferred but never created or destroyed. Potential Energy Potential energy is related to a
