ACSPH105
When a charged body moves or is moved from one point to another in an electric field and its potential energy changes, work is done on or by the field
ACSPH105 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Physics | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSPH065
Energy is conserved in isolated systems and is transferred from one object to another when a force is applied over a distance; this causes work to be done and changes to kinetic and/or potential energy of objects
