Q

fossil fuels

A
  • electrical energy produced from organic matter of pragmatism’s that lived millions of years ago
    ex: coal, oil, natural gas
  • non renewable
25
fossil fuels use
coffin fuels are burned to boil water, they are kept under pressure for the steam to reach a high temperature. the high pressure steam strikes and pushes the blades on a turbine
26
wind
- energy produced by moving air | - renewable
27
wind use
wind turbines using wind to turn their blades, which are connected to generators. faster air= more energy produced
28
renewable energy source
energy source that will remain available and not run out
29
non renewable energy source
energe source that has a limited amount of use
30
static electric charge
charge that remains on the surface
31
resistor
slows down current flows
32
switch
means if interrupting or complete ling the circuit
33
ammeter
measures current
34
battery
composed of a chemical substance that can generate and can be used in a circuit
35
current electricity
flowing very rapidly through a conductor. has voltage
36
ampere
measure of how much electrical current is flowing
37
voltmeter
measures voltage in a circuit
38
volts
unit of voltage
39
voltage
electrical pressure
40
multimeter
device that slows you to read measurements of current, voltage
41
electrical discharge
object releases electrons
42
electrical charges
electrons and protons
43
electric current
rate of flow of electrical charge
44
electrode
conductors through which electricity enters or leaves the body
45
electrolytes
a liquid or gel that contains ions
46
fuse
device to shut of a electrical circuit when too much electrical current is flowing
47
series circuit
components connected through one single path, sharing a voltage source
48
parallel circuit
components connected along multiple paths so that the current can split up
49
biomass
burning wares to drive heat engines. renewable. | waste decomposes to methane gas, which is burned to boil water, make steam and power turbines
50
energy grid
``` power plants transmission lines substations power lines transformers electrical wiring and circuit box ```
51
generators
magnets+motion+copper wire=electricity | -
52
geothermal
energy produced by water heated from milton rock. water from earths core rises and produces steam
53
hydroelectric
fast flowing water used to power turbine
54
neuclear
produced by the chain reactions of atoms in heavy elements. atoms are spilt which releases an enormous amount of energy. this is used to produce steam
55
kilowatt hour
unit of electric energy
56
sustainable development
economic development done with destruction of natural resources
57
transformer
static electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits
58
turbine
a machine used to produce continuous power
