How is electricity generated using wind turbines?
There are two basic ways we have today of generating electrical energy: 1). Photovoltaic panels, those greenish-blue glass things that when the sun shines on them, you can get electricity out of them. 2). An electrical generator ... there are two wires hanging out of, and when you spin the shaft, you get electrical energy out of the wires. Method #2 has always been the more common. -- At hydroelectric dams, falling water turns the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of the wires. -- At coal-fired, oil-fired, or gas-fired electric plants, you burn coal, oil, or natural gas, boil water with it, use the steam to turn the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of the wires. -- At nuclear power plants, you use the heat from uranium fission to boil water, use the steam to turn the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of the wires. -- In your car, you use a belt off of the gas-engine to turn the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of the wires. -- In a wind farm, you put up a giant pinwheel in a place where the wind always blows. The wind turns the pinwheel, the pinwheel turns the generator shaft, and you get electrical energy out of the wires.
When a fuse wire melts the electrical energy is transfered as what 2 types of energy?
kinetic and chemical energy
Why is electric energy can not be stored?
Electrical energy is a form of energy derived from the flow of neutrons, the negatively charged particles in atoms. When loosely used to describe energy absorbed or delivered by an electrical circuit, "electrical energy" refers to energy which has been converted from electrical potential energy. This energy is supplied by the combination of electric current and electrical potential that is delivered by the circuit. At the point that this electrical potential energy has been converted to another type of energy, it ceases to be electrical potential energy. Thus, all electrical energy is potential energy before it is delivered to the end-use. Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be described as another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).
What are types of conventional energy?
a cell phone ringing which gives of sound energy.2 wires that connect a battery to a light bulb to make it light up which demonstrates electrical energy.someone pushing someone else on a swing which demonstrates motion energy.
What are 2 things of energy that generators convert into electrical energy?
Heaters (With Resistive Coils) will change Electrical Energy into Heat Energy. Electric Motors (AC and DC) will convert Electrical Energy into Motion Energy.
