Use precise Physics vocabulary from this objective, including discuss, social, factors, that, and keep closely related ideas distinct: energy is stored or transferred, power is the rate of transfer, and efficiency compares useful output with total input. In exam answers, state the principle first, substitute values only when needed, include units, and finish with a conclusion that links back to Environmental issues and energy decisions.
