Secondary electricity Flashcards
Kinetic energy
-Kinetic energy spins electrical conductor , it can be created through thermal energy
2 features of a nuclear power station
-Control rods , absorb neutrons to control power output
-Generator , produces electricity
From light energy
-Photons cause free electrons to flow along a conductor to against a charge , this movement generates electricity
2 Advantages if using electricity
-easy to transport
-No polltion is caused when used
2 disadvantages of using electricity
-conversion is not very efficient
-Storage is difficult
2 uses of hydrogen
-combustion to produce heat
-combination of oxygen and hydrogen for fuels cells producing water and releasing energy
2 forms of hydrogen storage
-Compressed gas , disadvantage is energy is required to run compressor
-Liquification at a high pressure and low temperature but energy is required for refrigeration
