Key takeaways
Recognise when to use the equation for power in questions.
Calculate the energy transferred in a given time period.
Understand how power can relate to other concepts such as efficiency.
Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. Energy is measured in joules where as power is measured in watts. In this short session, students will learn to recognise when to use the equation for power in questions as well as how to calculate the energy transferred in a given time period. Students will also gain an understanding on how power can relate to other concepts such as efficiency. This short session is aimed at students in Years 9 - 11 and is great for those revising.
