Types of Energies
Harnesses the kinetic energy of moving air
Wind Energy
The piece of a generator that spins as kinetic energy moves through it.
Turbine
Two opposite charges will do this.
Attract.
Where chemical energy is convereted into electrical energy.
An electrochemical cell.
This unit of measurement measures the electrical potential difference in a cell or battery.
Voltage (volts)
When atoms undergo fusion or fission
Nuclear energy
The turbine spins this piece which connects to the generator.
Two like charges will do this.
Repulse (push away).
This combines two or more electrochemical cells.
A battery.
This is a measurement of the amount of electric charge flowing thorugh a circuit.
The Current
Energy harnessed by the kinetic energy of moving water
Hydroelectric energy
A generator turns kinetic energy into...
Electrical energy
Electrons have this kind of charge.
Negative
The "man" inside of the cell represents what? (according to our analogy).
The chemical reaction.
This is the symbol and units that represents current.
I (symbol) and amps (unit).
Energy harnessed by the sun
Solar energy
Hydroelectric energy
Protons have this kind of charge.
Positive.
What does the chemical reaction do inside of the electrochemical cell?
Seperate the negative from the positive charges.
How a load (device) slows down the flow of current is called this.
Resistance
Potential energy
A dynamo.
Only one type of charge (or particle) can be transferred from one surface or object to another. Which is it?
The build up of opposite charges at either terminal of an electrochemical cell is called...
The eletrical potential difference.
Ohms
