Coranoryheartdisease is an example of a non-communicable disease
Fatty materials build up and blocks coronaryarteries and can lead to a heart attack treatment include lifestyle changes stents and statins faulty heart valves make the heart less efficient at pumping blood .replacement valves can be mechanically or biological
A drug is a substance that has an effect on the body
There are two types of drug, medicinal and recreational
Cancer results from uncontrolled cell division forming tumors (beningn or malignant)
Scientists have identified various lifestyle and genetic riskfactors for cancer

Work is the measure of energy transferred when a force moves an object
Gravitational potential energy (J) =mass(kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg) × height(m)
Power(W) =Energy transferred (J) ÷ time(s)
Non renewable energy resources: fossil fuels (coal,oil nd gas),nuclear
Renewable energy resources: bio-fuel ,wind ,hydroelectricity ,geothermal , th tides,the sun and water waves
The national grid is a system of cab,es and transformers linking power stations to consumers
Step-up transformers are used to increase the potential difference and increases effciency
The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area
A direct current (D.C) flows in the same direction. An alternating current (A.C)is constantly changing direction
Mains electricity is an AC, frequency of 50 Hz and potential difference of 230V
Brown live wire carries current to the appliappliance . Blue neutral wire completes the circuit . Yellow and green earth wire can carry current safely if a fault develops
The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow
Circuit symbols
Electric power is the rate at which energy is transferred by an electric pathway
