What is Power? • Power is measured in watts (W) and tells you how much energy a device can transfer in one second. Naomi
Mr Firth • Can lift a dumbell in 0.5 seconds, this gives the dumbell 150 J of gravitational potential energy. • What is his power? Power (W) = Energy transferred (J) / Time (s)
Light Bulb • Can transfer 5000J of electrical energy into light energy in 25 seconds. • What is it’s power? Power (W) = Energy transferred (J) / Time (s)
