A contractor wishes to lift a load of bricks from the sidewalk to the top of a building by means of a winch. Since we know the expression for work, we can calculate work to be done by the force applied by the winch to lift the load. We are interested in the rate at which it is done, that is, will t..

Power - Imagine two students positioned at track A and track B of 100m length shifting 10 bricks from one end of the track to the other end. What is the amount of work done by each one of them? The amount of work done is same but the time taken to perform the work varies. In order to find..

Tidal Power - The tides are formed due to the gravitational force of attraction between the earth, sun and moon. During high tides sea water is trapped in a reservoir, and released later to drive turbines, which in turn produces electricity. The block diagram given below illustrates the t..

In an electrical circuit, energy is supplied by the source of EMF, stored by the capacitive and inductive elements and dissipated in resistive elements. Conservation of energy requires that, at any particular time, the rate at which energy is supplied by the source of EMF must equal the rate at whi..

Absolute alcohol is miscible with petrol but industrial alcohol is not. However, in the presence of benzene, industrial alcohol can be mixed with petrol. This alcohol used for generating power is called power alcohol..

Electricity is produced by converting the potential energy of water (from a height) into the kinetic energy of flowing water. Hydroelectricity or hydroelectric power is produced, when large quantities of water stored in dams at a suitable height, are released to fall from a height. A dyn..

Power is the rate of doing work or in other words, it is the work done in one second. If a current of 'I' amperes flows through a conductor of resistance 'R' ohm for a time 't' seconds when the potential difference across its ends is 'V' volt, then the electric power consumed P..
