Work, Energy, and Power – Class 11 Physics

NCERT Summary

1. Work
• Work is said to be done when a force is applied and displacement occurs in the direction of the
force. • Formula: W = F · d · cosθ, where: - F = applied force - d = displacement - θ = angle between
force and displacement vectors • Positive work: 0° < θ < 90° • Negative work: 90° < θ < 180° • Zero
work: θ = 90° or no displacement.

2. Kinetic Energy (KE)


• Energy possessed due to motion. • KE = ½ m v² • Work-Energy Theorem: Net work done on a
body = Change in kinetic energy.

3. Potential Energy (PE)


• Energy possessed by a body due to its position/configuration. • Gravitational PE: PE = m g h •
Elastic PE (spring): PE = ½ k x²

4. Conservation of Mechanical Energy


• In absence of non-conservative forces (like friction), total mechanical energy (TME) is conserved.
• TME = KE + PE = constant • Example: Free fall, pendulum, roller coaster.

5. Power
• Rate of doing work or energy conversion. • Average Power = Work / Time • Instantaneous Power
= F · v • Unit: Watt (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s • 1 Horsepower (HP) = 746 W

6. Types of Forces
• Conservative Forces: Path-independent, work done only depends on initial and final positions.
(e.g., gravity, spring) • Non-Conservative Forces: Path-dependent, dissipate energy (e.g., friction,
air resistance)

7. Key Formulas
• Work: W = F · d · cosθ • Kinetic Energy: KE = ½ m v² • Potential Energy: PE = m g h • Elastic PE:
PE = ½ k x² • Power: P = W / t or P = F · v
