what is a conductor? -manseerat
A conductor is something that Carry's energy with it for lighting but can also shock you if it has electricity in it
What is energy conservation? -manseerat
Energy/electricity conservation is using as little to none electricity as possible and trying to use energy saving materials.
what things use a lot of energy in your house? -tala
lights, devices, cooking, ac/heat, fans.
What types of energy and you name? -tala
heat energy, electrical energy, mechanical energy and nuclear energy and etc;
What is the difference between a positive charge vs a negative charge? -manseerat
A positive charge is when there are more protons then electrons but a negative charge is when there are more electrons then protons.
What is the difference between hydro energy and nuclear energy? -manseerat
Hydro energy uses the power of flowing water to generate electricity.
Nuclear fission generates steam, which turns a turbine to generate electricity.

Why may some people put solar panels on their roof as a energy source? -tala and Manseerat
Reasons: reduce electricity bills, property value will go up. solar panels are safe and clean and rely on fossil fuels there will be a big environmental impact.
Is a solar panel renewable energy or NON-renewable energy? -manseerat
A solar panel is renewable energy.
what is a resistor? -manseerat
A resistor is kind of in the middle of being a conductor and insulator because it does not stop electricity from fully flowing through it, but electricity can still be able to make its way through
