• All students should be able to apply
the equation of power to different
situations and understand that heat
is given off by light bulbs and that
different lights have different
efficiencies.
• Most students should be able to
recall the equation for power and
apply the equations of charge and
voltage to different situations.
• Some students may be able to derive
the equation for electrical power and
apply it.
Power

Power is “the rate of doing work”.
The amount of power being used in
is given by:
Power = Energy used ÷ time

Charge (Q)

As we said, electricity is when electrons move around a
circuit and carry energy with them. Each electron has a
negative CHARGE. Charge is measured in Coulombs (C).
We can work out how much charge flows in a circuit using
the equation:
Charge = current x time
