Transcript TYPES AND FORMS OF ENERGY

ELECTRICITY
STATIC ELECTRICITY
 THE BUILD UP OF ELECTRONS ON
THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT.
AN ATOM
Why

BATTERY FUNCTION
 A BATTERY HAS A
CATHODE WHICH
TENDS TO ACCEPT ELECTRONS TO
BE MORE STABLE AND AN ANODE
WHICH TENDS TO GIVE UP
ELECTRONS TO BE MORE STABLE
AND ELECTROLYTE PASTE WHICH
TRANSFERS MOST OF THE
ELECTRONS BACK TO THE ANODE
WHEN A CIRCUIT IS COMPLETE
CIRCUIT
 A CONDUCTOR WHICH CONNECTS A
PATHWAY BETWEEN THE CATHODE
(+) AND ANODE (-)

ELECTRICITY
 THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS
THROUGH A CIRCUIT
 CAN BE USED TO DO WORK
 CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO
MECHANICAL, RADIANT, SOUND
AND HEAT ENERGY
GALVANOMETER
A device that detects the flow of
electricity
ELECTROMAGNET
 AN ELECTRIC CURRENT FLOWING
THROUGH A WIRE FORMED A
MAGNETIC FORCE
 AN ELECTROMAGNET CAN BE SHUT
OFF
 TO BUILD A STRONGER
ELECTROMAGNET USE:


MORE WIRE IN THE COIL
A MORE POWERFUL SOURCE OF
ELECTRONS
MAGNETISM
 A FORCE BY WHICH MATERIALS
ATTRACT OR REPEL OTHER
MATERIAL
 FORMED BY AN ELECTRIC CURRENT
(ELECTROMAGNETISM) OR THE SPIN
OF ELECTRONS (PERMANENT
MAGNETS)

GENERATOR
 A GENERATOR IS A DEVICE THAT
TURNS MECHANICAL ENERGY INTO
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
 THE PARTS ARE


A COIL OF WIRE
A MAGNET
GENERATOR

GENERATOR
 A MECHANICAL FORCE MOVES THE
WIRE COIL OR THE MAGNET
CAUSING THE ELECTRONS OF THE
WIRE TO MOVE
GENERATOR
 TO MAKE A GENERATOR WORK A
MECHANICAL FORCE IS USED
 TO MAKE A STRONGER GENERATOR
USE:



A MORE POWERFUL MAGNET
MORE WIRE IN THE COIL
A MORE POWERFUL MECHANICAL
SOURCE
TURBINE
 A DEVICE USED TO SPIN A PART
(MAGNET OR COIL) OF THE
GENERATOR
 THE TURBINE CAN BE MOVED BY:



FLOWING WATER
WIND
STEAM
FLOWING WATER
 ADVANTAGES:


LITTLE POLLUTION
‘FREE’ SOURCE
DISADVANTAGES
 COSTLY TO BUILD
 MUST BE ON A RIVER
 AFFECTS FISH MIGRATION
