The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of lever.

If you push on the handle of a door and force it to open, the forces will cause the same rotational effects as this.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance.
