What to Focus On

  • Work in Physics is not the same as work in daily language.
  • No motion means no work in the Physics sense.
  • Change in shape or size also counts as work.
  • Work depends on force and distance in the direction of force.
  • Formula: W = F × d.
  • SI unit of work is joule.
  • No motion means no work.
  • Perpendicular motion and force give zero work.
  • Circular motion can give zero work by the force causing centripetal motion.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Work is done whenever a person feels tired or uses force.

Any moving object must have work done on it by every force acting on it.

Work depends on time taken.
