What is the difference between Energy and Electricity?
Electricity is an example of one type of energy, but there are many other types, such as thermal, mechanical, nuclear, wind, solar,hydro, and others. Electricity generally is used as soon as it is made, it cannot be stored, so it does not fall into the category of potential energy. One exception is in batteries, which can store electricity, though you might consider these to be stores of chemical energy
Is using a microwave more conservative on electricity than a stove?
By a long distance, using a microwave is more conservative on electricity than by using resistive heating that a stove utilizes.
Who pays for the electricity?
The customer that is using the power.
What is sources of electricity?
It is a source from where electricity comes. The main source is sun... or it is not- check in google. But you might want to resd this paragraph: Sources of electricity are areas of high electric potential. This means that the region/area has a net negative charge i.e. high number of free electrons. Electricity is created when these areas of high potential discharge their electrons into neighboring areas of lower potential because it is by definition the flow of electrons from high to low potentials. Most man-made electricity is created using some form of generator. Generators are devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical. Typically this is done by rotating high powered magnets inside tightly coiled copper wiring. The magnet essentially tears electrons off the copper atoms creating high negative potential within the wire. The resulting flow of electrons out of the generator through wiring to areas of less potential is electricity. In nature we see electricity when high negative potential builds within storm clouds because friction between water droplets tears electrons free. The negatively charged clouds discharge into the ground below in the form of lightening.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
What are some of the dangers of using diet supplements?
There are a few potential dangers of using diet supplements. One of the bigger dangers is that up to 1 in 4 supplements have ingredients that are not accurate. Another danger is some supplements have been found to have contaminants.
What is wind energy potential?
Wind Energys potential is that it generates electricity & and using wind to pump up water.
How does water mess up electricity?
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
What are the examples of electricity in agriculture?
General use of electricity in agriculture is for pumping the water, using automated water sprinklers, running the bore well pump.
How do you generate electricity using a semiconductor p-n junction?
When light shines on a semiconductor p-n junction, the energy from photons can create electron-hole pairs, generating a potential difference across the junction. This potential difference can create an electric current when connected to an external circuit, allowing for the generation of electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
What potential threats do students face using their cellphones?
Potential threats: the person can say anything i will give examples by saying+ Im going to kill you is an example of a threat
What are the dangers of consuming cheap diabetic supplies?
The dangers of using cheap diabetic supplies are potential life threatening conditions as they may have inconsistent sugar levels in the food. The blood level monitors and their test strips are also dangerous as they can return incorrect results.
What are examples of using electricity?
Examples are:Domestic use in heating and cooking appliancesUse for lighteningUse for industry as source for electric motors and electric machinesDifferent transportation vehicle types
What is the difference bewteen potential and kinetic energy?
The difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that is waiting to be utilized, such as a battery, a car on a hill, or food. Kinetic energy is potential energy that has been put to use, so the electricity from a battery, a car rolling down a hill, and using food energy to run are all examples of kinetic energy.
Top 10 dangers while using the internet?
Some of the dangers of using the internet are:HackersPedophilesPhishingVirusesMalwareChatroomsIdentity theftInternet gambling addictionPorn/porn addiction
What is the moral of the gruffalo?
The moral of "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson is about using one's wit and cleverness to outsmart potential dangers. It teaches children the importance of being resourceful and quick on their feet when faced with challenges.
What are some companies that convert gas cars to use electricity?
Now there is a way to convert your car from using gas to using electricity. There are many examples of doing this: http://www.gas2electricity.com/ tells you how to do it yourself, as does this http://www.electroauto.com/. It doesn't seem as though companies will do it for you, as of yet.
