===About Work Done===
: [[Work Done]] is measured in [[Joule]]s.
: [[Work Done]] can only be calculated for objects [[object]]s moving in the direction of the [[force]]. If the direction of the [[force]] and the motion of an [[object]] are [[perpendicular]] then no '''work''' is being done on the [[object]] by that [[force]].
===Equation===
Work Done = (Force X ) x (Distance moved in the direction of the force) :<math> W = F \times d</math>:<math> W = Fd</math>
: Work done is written with a capital W. Force is written with a capital F. Distance is written with a lower case d.

: The Force needed to stretch '''work done''' on a [[Coil Spring|spring ]] can be found with the following equation <math>W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2</math> Where: W = [[Work Done]] k = [[Spring Constant]] x = [[Extension]] of the [[object]]. ==Key Stage 4=={{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVV0qE_qlkY}}===Meaning===[[Work Done]] is proportional to the extension amount of [[Energy Transfer|energy transferred]] by the spring (action of a [[force]]. ===About Work Done===: [[Work Done]] is measured in [[Hooke's LawJoule]])s. ====Work Done by a Force = Spring Constant x Extension===: The [[Work Done]] by a [[force]] can only be calculated for [[object]]s moving in the direction of the [[force]]. If the direction of the [[force]] and the motion of an [[object]] are [[perpendicular]] then no '''work'''is being done on the [[object]] by that [[force]].====Work Doneby Electricity====: '''Work''' on can also be done by an object is proportional to [[Electrical Current|electrical current]] as the [[Electrostatic Field|electrostatic field]] inside a [[wire]] provides a [[force and ]] to move the distance traveled[[electron]]s (or [[ion]]s).  ===Equation for Work Done by a Force=== '' '''Work Done''' = (Force ) x (Distancemoved in the direction of the force)'' <math> W = Fd</math> Where:  W = Work done F = The [[Force]] applied to the [[object]]. d = The distance moved is by the [[object]] in the same as direction of the extension [[force]]. ===Equation for Work Done by Electricity=== '' '''Work Done'''= (Current) x (Potential Difference) x(time)'' <math> W = IVt</math> Where: W = Work done I = The [[Electrical Current|current]] through the [[Electrical Component|component]] V = The [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] across the [[Electrical Component|component]].These t = The length of [[time]] that the [[Electrical Current|current]] is flowing. ''NB: You do not need to remember this equation.
