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