Another type of Potential

Energy is the Elastic Potential

Energy possessed by springs and
rubber bands. When elastics are
stretched and then let go, they will
return to its original form if they
were not stretched beyond their
elastic limit.
 is the rate of doing work or the rate of using
energy.
Mathematically Power = Work or P= W
Time t

Work is expressed in terms of Joule (J) and time is in

Seconds (s). The unit of power is watt. So
1 watt = 1 J/s
1 000 watts = 1 kilowatt
The unit of power is given in honor of
James Watt, who invented the steam engine.
Therefore, 1 J/s = 1 watt
