Energy
  1. Principle of energy conservation
    1. "Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred from one place to another or changed from one form to another"
    2. intro
      1. measured in joules/kilojoules
        1. 1KJ= 1000J
          1. energy allows work to be done
            1. energy is always conserved
            2. Transducers
              1. energy changers
                1. change one type of energy into another
                  1. *converts energy* total energy going in equals total energy going out
                  2. Efficiency
                    1. energy used compared to energy wasted
                      1. Useful energy output/ total energy input *100
                        1. higher efficiency = less wastage
