  • why should designers consider the portability of a power source when choosing energy sources to make products & power systems?
    remote working requires access to devices with a power source that doesn't need to be plugged into mains electricity
  • why should designers consider the power output when choosing energy sources to make products & power systems?

    generators output may vary, electricity supply must be capable of delivering the required power
  • what should designers consider about the environmental impact when choosing energy sources to make products & power systems?
    • active- fossil fuel emissions
    • active- destruction of habitat
    • passive- noise & visual pollution
  • why should designers consider the circuit/system connections when choosing energy sources to make products & power systems?

    how the circuit/system is connected needs to be considered e.g. plugs, connectors, battery
  • why should designers consider the cost when choosing energy sources to make products & power systems?

    running costs of the product
