What kind of energy makes a microwave work?
The input energy is electricity. The output energy (what does the cooking), is microwave radiation.
What is a natural resource that can be converted into other forms of energy to do work?
Fossil fuels. Uranium. Coal, oil and natural gas. Wind and water (hydro-electric). Sunlight. Geothermal sources. Technically, "work" is the conversion of energy with time, as 1W = 1J/s conversion.
What is a mechanical Effeciency?
The amount of work used to produce energy
What changes solar energy to electrical energy?
Mainly the solar panels. They are designed to use solar energy
How does 'hydro' work?
A jet of water is diercted at a paddle wheel, making it spin. The spin is then transferred to an electric generator and turned into electric energy.
What are some disadvantages of using hydro-electricity and solar energy?
Not many disadvantages. They are both reliant on continuous supply, so hydro power won't work without rain, and solar energy won't work if the sun doesn't shine.
How does hydro electricity work?
•today hydraulic energy is mainly used to produce electricity in hydroelectric power stations, by making use of the energy of waterfalls. Falling water (a significant change in potential energy) contains energy in a much more concentrated state than the water flowing in a river (kinetic energy).
What is the capacity to do work or produce heat?
Energy is the capacity to do work or to produce heat.
What energy is used on a electric fan to work?
electricity
How can wind and water can be used as a source of electricity?
Wind and water force can be used to turn turbines which in turn produce electricity. I'm not entirely sure how turbines work but I believe that the turning motion produces kinetic energy which can be harnessed as electricity.
How a generator changes rotary motion into electricity?
Mechanical energy is the energy of work. Back in the olden days, brave inventors used steam to power turbines, or used water to turn wheels in a river. These are examples of putting mechanical energy to work. The gears inside a wind up clock need mechanical energy to function.
What does electricity need to work?
a conductor and a source of energy
How can hydrogen be used to produce electricity?
hydro electric power Or, you can chemically combine hydrogen and oxygen in a hydrogen fuel cell to produce electricity, heat and water. This method has been used in short-term manned space flights since Apollo (the hydroelectric approach doesn't work well in space) and is being developed for large scale zero-emissions vehicle applications (the concept is proven but the fuel distribution infrastructure needs work).
Do you need electricity to work laser beam rays?
To get a LASER to work you need to excite it with energy. The most workable form of energy to do that is electricity. There ae several ways of exciting LASERs to work.
How does a cell produce electricity?
its just a way plants and animals (which we are) work
How does wind electricity work?
The wind electricity work because of the wind mill, wind mill makes wind energy.
How is electricity produced from solar panels at night?
there are various energy resources, like heat and wind which has more than enough energy we need but problem is on harnessing it.
