Q

Energy measurements

A

Energy Units and Conversions. 1 Joule (J) is the MKS unit of energy, equal to the force of one Newton acting through one meter. 1 Watt is the power from a current of 1 Ampere flowing through 1 Volt. 1 kilowatt-hour is the energy of one kilowatt power flowing for one hour.

Q

Non renewable

Renewable

A

Non-renewable resource if when a resource can not be used for then once to release energy. Eg coal, oil and gas.

Renewable resources can be used for then once to create energy like wind, tidal, waves, Biomass and Solar and wood.

Q

The law of convection

A

A small force that is acting on a bog distance creates a big force. The big force can only travel a small distance.If you could increase the distance as well as the force you to get more force out then you put in

Q

how electricity is generated in a power station.

A

I feel bad to heat water and produces steam steam drives a turbine which is a bit like a big fan the turbine drive the generator this provides the push that means a current flows to the kettle at home. the current transfers energy from the chemical store of the fuel to the thermal store of water in a kettle.

17
Q

What does burning fossil fuels producing pollutants

A

Sulfur dioxide, particulates and carbon dioxide

18
Q

calculate and compare the running (energy) costs of particular electrical
appliances (given the power rating and time).

A

You are charged for the number of hours that you use each appliance and for the power of your appliance.
You calculate using kilowatt or joules
KWh= 12kw x 1 hour
=12

12000j/s x 3600 s
= 43 200 000j
