Energy Concepts
A resource that cannot be replaced once used.
What is Nonrenewable Energy?
The net transfer of electric charge per unit of time.
What is Current?
A circuit in which all parts are connected end to end to provide a single path of current.
What is a Series Circuit?
The unit of electric current. Hint: sounds like amplify.
What is an Ampere?
The fundamental entity of nature transferred during physical changes.
What is Energy?
A resource that can be replaced when needed.
What is Renewable Energy?
Energy caused by the movement of atomic particles.
What is Electrical Energy?
A circuit in which components are connected between two points with one end of each component connected to each other.
What is a Parallel Circuit?
The unit of electrical potential difference.
What is a Volt?
The use of heat from within the Earth.
What is Geothermal Energy?
Energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
States that the direct current flowing in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied.
What is Ohm’s Law?
A machine with a wheel or rotor that is turned by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, or air.
What is a Turbine?
The unit of electrical opposition.
What is an Ohm?
A resource that cannot be replaced once used.
What is Nonrenewable Energy?
The energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or arrangement of parts.
What is Potential Energy?
The opposition that a device offers to the flow of current.
What is Resistance?
An energy source that will never run out.
What is Inexhaustible Energy?
The rate at which work is performed or energy is expended.
What is Power?
A resource that can be replaced when needed.
What is Renewable Energy?
The use of heat from within the Earth
What is Geothermal Energy?
The ratio of useful energy delivered by a system to the energy supplied to it.
What is Efficiency?
The function of a thermodynamic system equal to the heat absorbed divided by temperature.
What is Entropy?
A result of a force moving an object a certain distance.
? = F x D
