How are magnets and electrical generators related?
Electrical generators have sliding magnets that go back and forth to create mechanical energy in them....and that's why they are related.
How is coal used as a source of energy?
Coal is burned in power plants to generate electricity. When burned, coal releases energy in the form of heat, which is used to generate steam that drives turbines connected to generators. The rotating generators then produce electricity for various applications.
What is form of energy that can produce heat and light?
This type of energy is called current electricity
What can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
What Can cause kinetic energy to change to thermal energy?
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
How do uranium and plutonium provide heat energy?
Uranium and plutonium provide heat energy through a process called nuclear fission, in which the nucleus of an atom is split into smaller fragments, releasing a significant amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity.
How does an electric generators work?
Converts mechanical energy into electricity. Movement of magnetic field across a conductor will cause electron flow. The windings of a generator are rotated within a magnetic field.
How are thermal energy and temperature related how are they different?
Thermal energy ie heat is the CAUSE and temperature is the EFFECT.
Can electricity cause thermal burns?
Yes, exposure to electricity can cause thermal burns by generating heat when passing through the body. The severity of the burn depends on factors like the amount of current and the duration of exposure.
Is glass a conductor or insulator of thermal or electrical energy?
Glass is an insulator of both energies. It does not conduct thermal energy because only it's surface warms up. It does not conduct electrical energy because its atoms do not have free electrons, which cause this process in metals.
What kind of energy does friction cause?
heat/thermal
