A battery does work in moving charge around a circuit i. e. sustaining a current through the circuit. To illustrate this point, consider a resistor with a voltage V across it and a current I flowing through it. Focus on a single charge, q, passing through the resistor. Find the work W done on the charge by the electric field in the resistor. When thinking about an electric circuit, you usually focus not on the motion of individual charges, but rather on the continuous current (charge per unit time) flowing through the circuit. Thus, rather than considering the work done on a particular charge, it is useful to compute the work done per unit time on the charge flowing through the circuit, or in other words, the power. Find the electrical power P delivered to the resistor via the work done on the individual charges passing through it. (Again, this power ultimately appears in the form of heat).

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
