Forms of Energy
Potential Energy
The energy possessed by a body due to its position or shape is
called its potential energy.
For Example:
The total energy before and after the transformation remains the
same.
At point B,
Let the velocity at this point be v.
At point C,
Potential energy, Ep = 0
Velocity of the body is zero here.
Power
The time rate of doing work is defined as power (P).
Power= work/time
Unit of power
sI unit of Power is Joule per second or Js1.
1 watt is the power when 1J of work is done in 1s.
The bigger unit of power is Kilowatt and represented by kW.
1kW = 1000W
Some another units to measure power are:
1 Megawatt = 106 watt
1 horse power = 746 watt
= 1000 W x 60 x 60 s
