Energy stores and systems

A ball being released, showing energy transferring from the gravitational potential energy store of the ball and Earth to the ball's kinetic energy store

A system is the object or group of objects being studied. Everything outside the system is the surroundings, and the boundary decides which energy changes are included.

  3. /8.1 Energy transfers and work

Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel GCSE Physics 8.1 Energy transfers and work, covering 8.1.1 Energy stores and transfer diagrams, 8.1.2 Ways of changing a system's energy, and 8.1.3 Work done by forces. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Master the required practical work and core equations early, since both papers can draw on content and maths skills from across the whole specification.
