Lesson 7 of 10

ELECTRICAL WORK

energy transferred = power × time E = Pt and energy transferred = charge flow × potential difference E = QV

Work is done when charge flows in a circuit. The energy an appliance transfers depends on how long it is on for and its power.

Comparing Appliances

Electricity

Lesson 7 of 10

A 700 W drill is used for 60 s. A 1500 W hair dryer is used for 60 s. Which transfers more energy?

1

Drill

700 × 60 = 42 000 J

2

Hair dryer

1500 × 60 = 90 000 J

ANSWER

The hair dryer transfers more energy because its power is greater for the same time.

Power Ratings

Electricity

Lesson 7 of 10

What the rating tells you.

Meaning

The power rating is the energy the appliance transfers each second.

Energy used

Energy depends on the power rating and how long the appliance is on.

Motors

Transfer electrical energy to the kinetic energy store of the motor.

Heaters

Transfer electrical energy to the thermal energy store.

YOUR TASK

Energy Bill

12 minutes

A 3.0 kW electric shower is used for 8.0 minutes. Calculate the energy transferred, in joules. Explain what happens to the energy.

1

Convert kW and minutes.

2

Multiply.

WHAT A GOOD ANSWER SHOWS

3000 × 480 = 1 440 000 J (1.44 MJ). Electrical energy is transferred to the thermal store of the water; some is dissipated.
