===Equation===
Work Done = (Force) x (Distance moved in the direction of the force)
: Work done is written with a capital W. Force is written with a capital F. Distance is written with a lower case d.
===Example Calculations===

The '''work done''' on a [[Coil Spring|spring]] can be found with the following equation:
<math>W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2</math>

===Meaning===
[[Work Done]] is the amount of [[Energy Transfer|energy transferred]] by the action of a [[force]].
P = [[Power]]
''Equation 1 is [[Substitution Substitute (Maths)|substituted]] into equation 2 to give'' <math> W = IVt</math>.
===Equation for Work Done by Deformation===
<math>W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2</math>
Where:
W = [[Work Done]]
k = [[Spring Constant]]
x = [[Extension]] of the [[object]].
