Energy Transformations
A ceiling fan would convert electrical energy into this type of energy.
Mechanical Energy
Electrons flowing through a circuit create this.
Current
Wrapping more coils around an electromagnet will do this to its strength.
Strengthen it
Current is measured in these units.
Amps
Which energy source is renewable: solar or nuclear?
Solar
This device converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
A motor
In this type of circuit, one burnt-out bulb will not turn off the others.
Parallel Circuit
Increasing this in a wire can strengthen an electromagnet.
Current/voltage
Power is measured in these units.
Watts
This energy source creates hazardous waste requiring long term storage.
Nuclear energy.
This device converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
A generator
A circuit must be in this state for electricity to flow.
Closed
Opposite electric charges do this.
Attract
If our input was 500 Joules, and our output was 300 Joules, what is our efficiency?
60%
Static electricity is caused by an imbalance of these particles.
Electrons
Most wasted energy in a gasoline powered vehicle becomes this form of energy.
Thermal energy
This device measures voltage.
Voltmeter
Similar charges do this
Repel
Find the current if 12 V encounters 0.5 Ohms of resistance.
24 A
This part of a battery allows charges to move between the electrodes.
Electrolyte
A rechargeable battery would convert electrical energy into what type of energy?
Chemical energy
This circuit arrangement would cause bulbs to get dimmer as the electrons travelled along the circuit.
Series circuit
This would happen to an electromagnet when it stopped receiving an electric current.
It would lose its magnetism.
A 600W blender runs for 7 hours, calculate the energy used.
4200 Wh
A device operates at 120V and draws 2.2A of current. Calculate the power rating.
264W
