Work is the energy transferred when a force causes an object to move. One joule is transferred when a force of 1 N1 \, \text{N}1N moves an object 1 m1 \, \text{m}1m in the direction of the force.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Work, energy and power. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
