Question
How is work related to energy?
Solution
RELATION BETWEEN WORK AND ENERGY: “Energy is the capacity of doing work” Every form of energy → is work.
i.e. work done on the body is stored in the form of energy. Energy is spent when a body does work. Thus to do more amount of work-more energy is needed.
