Applying W = VQ and W = EQ
What Applying W = VQ and W = EQ means in Physics A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Applying W = VQ and W = EQ
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Applying W = VQ and W = EQ in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
W = VQ gives the energy transferred when charge Q passes through a potential difference V, and W = EQ gives the energy transferred when charge Q passes through an electromotive force E.
