#P3.4.1
describe the energy transfers that take place when a system is changed by work done when a current flows through a component
#P3.4.2
explain, with reference to examples, how the power transfer in any circuit device is related to the energy transferred from the power supply to the device and its surroundings over a given time:
power (W) = energy (J) ÷ time (s)
#P3.4.3
recall and use the relationship between the potential difference across the component and the total charge to calculate the energy transferred in an electric circuit when a current flows through a component:
energy transferred (work done) (J) = charge (C) × potential difference (V)
#P3.4.4
recall and apply the relationships between power transferred in any circuit device, the potential difference across it, the current through it, and its resistance:
power (W) = potential difference (V) × current (A)
power (W) = (current (A))2 × resistance (Ω)
#P3.4.5
use the idea of conservation of energy to show that when a transformer steps up the voltage, the output current must decrease and vice versa
a) select and use the equation:
potential difference across primary coil × current in primary coil = potential difference across secondary coil × current in secondary coil
#P3.4.6
explain how transmitting power at higher voltages is more efficient way to transfer energy
