a type of energy that consists of the movement of electrons between two points when there is a potential difference between them
Electricity
a complete circular path that electricity flows through
Circut
the light and heat from the sun that can be used to generate electricity, create heat, or cause chemical reactions
Solar Energy
a device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage
Transformer
a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system.
substation
a unit of measurement for electric potential difference, also known as ____, electromotive force, or electric potential
voltage
he transfer of energy, such as heat or an electric charge, through a substance.
Conduction
An energy source formed in the Earth's crust from decayed organic material.
Fossil Fuel
a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons
Nuclear Energy
a unit of electrical potential that is equal to 1,000 volts.
Kilovolt
the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating a light.
