Energy
Energy can never be created
Energy can never be destroyed
Energy can only change its form (Work is done)
Energy has the ability to make something happen, i.e. to do Work
The unit for energy is the Joule (J)
J = Kgm2s-2  in fundamental units

Work
Work is a transformation (change) of energy from one form to another form. Work only occurs when something is done.

  • Power is the rate at which energy is transformed
  • Power is the rate at which work is done
  • Unit of power Watt (W = J/s)
