Electricity
The network that connects power generation to power use.
What is The Electric Grid?
Who patented and sold the first widely available electric lightbulbs?
Who is Thomas Edison?
The sun is this much bigger than the earth.
What is a million times?
Stored energy that can be released if something changes.
What is potential energy?
The primary greenhouse gas released from burning fossil fuels.
What is Carbon dioxide?
What are the 3 particles that make electricity?
What are Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons?
The location of the first company in the U.S. to distribute electricity.
What is San Francisco?
Solar panels are made from this.
What are photovoltaic cells?
Energy that something has because its moving.
What is kinetic energy?
The kw/h cost of energy at SEEQS.
What is .44?
Materials that allow current to flow through them easily.
What are conductors?
Faraday discovered he could create an electric current by moving a copper coil around this.
What is a magnet?
The main roadblock for residential solar energy in Hawaii.
What are grid connection / overload issues?
This animal historically has a much higher electrical output than home outlets.
What is an electric eel?
As power leaves a power plant, it passes through this.
The measurement of how much current can potentially move through a wire.
What is voltage?
The first electric generator.
What is a Faraday Disk?
The number of months is takes for the average Hawaii household to recoup on a 6W solar system.
What is 17 months?
Light and heat are an example of this type of energy.
Kinetic energy.
Hawaii requires that 100% of its electricity be generated by renewable sources of energy by this year.
What is 2045?
When many electrons jump from atom to atom in the same direction.
What is electron flow?
How did the Faraday disk work?
Magnet creates magnetic field — disc turns and induces electric current outward — current flows out through sliding spring conductor — through external circuit and back into the center of the disc through the axel
What an inverter does.
Changes electricity from direct current to alternating current.
DC to AC
Nuclear and fossil fuels are an example of this type of energy, whereas hydropower and wind are not.
What is potential energy?
Hawaii uses this much more energy than it produces.
What is 7x?
