What do PV cells convert radiant energy to?
Electricity or electrical power.
How you test the electric motor that it produces electricity?
Electric motors do not produce electricity, they use electricity, and convert that energy to another form of energy, that we measure in horsepower. See related links.
What type of cell is the most commonly used to convert solar energy into electricity?
The cells used to convert solar energy into electricity are called photovoltaics. Solar photovoltaics are now the third most important renewable energy source in the world.
Is radium a source of nuclear energy?
Yes, radium is a source of nuclear energy. Its just not the sort of energy that we can easily convert into other forms, such as electricity.
What is 5 ways electricity is made?
Like any other form of energy, it is not "made". All energy that is here has always been here, although perhaps in other forms. For instance, you can convert weather energy in the form of rain that falls from the sky, collects in streams and falls downhill through turbines connected to electrical converters. Or, you could convert weather energy in the form of moving air (wind) to turn the blades of a turbine to convert wind energy into electrical energy. There are also ways to convert fossilized fuels into heat or rotational energy that can be converted to electricity. Solar energy can be converted to electricity using photo-voltaic cells. Chemical energy can be converted to electricity in such things as batteries. Geo-thermal energy can be converted to electricity. Friction between surfaces can be used to accumulate electrical charge that can be used for various things.
Where does energy leave a circuit?
I assume you mean electricity not energy. The electrical energy doesn't leave the circuit as such it is converted by a component. E.G. A bulb in a circuit will convert the electrical energy into light and some heat.
What device is used to convert solar energy to electricity?
solar cells are used to convert solar energy to electricity.
What is the electricity convert into which energy?
Electrical Energy
What type of energy does a windmill change into electricity?
Windmills convert wind energy (which is kinetic energy) into electricity.
What are the three electrical appliances that use circuits to convert electrical energy into other forms of energy?
That's what all electrical appliances do - convert electricity into other forms of energy.That's what all electrical appliances do - convert electricity into other forms of energy.That's what all electrical appliances do - convert electricity into other forms of energy.That's what all electrical appliances do - convert electricity into other forms of energy.
Can you convert sound energy into electricity?
Yes, a microphone does this
Which device is use to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy?
Alternator = AC electricity Generator = DC electricity
Cells that convert solar energy directly into electricity are called?
Photovoltaic cells converts solar energy into electricity.
What device is used harness the energy in wind and convert it into electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What device is used to harness the energy in wind and convert into the electricity?
A wind turbine is used to convert the wind into energy.
What energy is needed to create electricity in a geothermal power plant?
The energy from earth is required. This energy is used to create electricity.
Can directly convert sunlight into electricity?
If you have solar panels installed correctly to your home/business/land then you can convert sunlunight into energy/electricity.
