What device is used to convert solar energy to electricity?
solar cells are used to convert solar energy to electricity.
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
What is one example of a non solar nuclear energy?
Mechanical energy, solar energy, electrical energy. There are many more.
How much is solar energy used compared to other energy sources?
Solar energy is probably the second or third most used form of energy. The first would be coal, and then solar would have to be compared to wind energy. Solar is most popular in Europe and places like the US. However, wind energy is probably more widely used than solar.
Why is uranium used in nuclear power plants?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants because the fission of uranium atom release a formidable quantity of energy.
Is solar energy contained in uranium?
No. Solar= sun, Energy= energy. Believe it or not, uranium is not the sun.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Does uranium producing heat to make steam show the conversion of chemical energy to heat energy?
No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclearenergy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.No; the energy used from uranium is usually nuclear energy, not chemical energy.
What energy resources can be found in deserts?
Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind, petroleum, coal, uranium (nuclear fuel).
What is an alternative energy that could replace uranium?
Alternative sources of energy: solar, geothermal, wind, biofuels, tidal, urban wastes, etc; but they cannot replace uranium.
How does uranium turn nuclear?
Pure Uranium is radioactive; thus harmful. Inside a nuclear reactor, atoms get split. When the Uranium atom is split, it releases a huge amount of energy. This energy is called nuclear energy. Also the normal Uranium is not used in reactors. The Uranium that is used is enhanced; it is an isotope of Uranium. Uranium-237 and Uranium-238 are used in nuclear reactors. I hope this answer was useful for you.
What can be used by nuclear energy?
Uranium is used to make energy by fission
How much solar energy is used in VA?
how solar energy is used
What solar energy used for?
Solar energy is used for heating and electricity.
The energy in uranium is used to make electricity in a nuclear power plant. How is the energy stored in uranium?
in the nucleus
Why uranium is used in nuclear energy?
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
As can alternate energy replace uranium?
Alternate energies as solar, eolian, geothermal, etc. cannot replace nuclear energy.
