Fundamental Concepts
WORK:
• Work is done when a force is applied to an object and theobject is moved through a distance.
• Product of the force and the distance over which the force isapplied.
• Displacement of a body under the action of a force.

Fundamental Concepts
ENERGY:
• the ability of a system to perform work.
• Energy is a property of objects which can be transferred
to other objects or converted into different forms, butcannot be created or destroyed.
• It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical,chemical, nuclear, or other various forms.

Tonne of oil equivalent (toe)
The tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is a unit of energydefined as the amount of energy released by burning one
tonne of crude oil. It is approximately 42 gigajoules,although as different crude oils have different calorificvalues, the exact value is defined by convention; severalslightly different definitions exist. The toe is sometimesused for large amounts of energy.
