Electricity is mainly produced by burning fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas. When burnt these all produce carbon dioxide which contributes to the layer of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

When a lamp is turned on electrical energy changes into what form of energy?
The older generation of bulb(one in witch heating metal coil was used) convert electrical energy into both heat and light energy and consume more energy as some energy is lost as a heat energy. The newer generation of electrical bulb (C.F.L.) convert almost all electrical energy into light energy and consume much less electrical energy.
How are geothermal and wind power similar?
They both convert kinetic energy to electrical energy.
A light bulb converts 10 percent of the electrical energy and thermal energy it uses into radiant energymake a hypothesys about the other form of energy produced?
A lightbulb usually won't use thermal energy, only electrical energy. By conservation of energy, if 10% of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the remainder is wasted - basically as heat.
What are disadvantages of Geothermal energy?
The disadvantages of geothermal energy are that after a while the heat below the ground may become dissipated. The power plant may have to stand idle for some time to let the heat build up again underground.
Where is the store of electrical energy in a circuit?
Capacitors, inductors, and batteries all store electrical energy.
What are the disadvantages to using methane gas to create electrical energy?
its bad for the enironment
Electrical generator transfroms electrical energy into other energy?
An electrical generator generates electrical energy. It takes some kind of mechanical energy to turn the generator. The generator is said to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What energy transformation is Mechanical to Electrical?
when electrical energy is supplied to the motor of an electric fan, some of the electrical energy is transferred to the fan blade as kinetic energy. The energy is also transformed from electrical to kinetic.
What energy do batteries give?
electrical, chemical, heat, and light energy
What is the potential energy stored in chemical compounds?
A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force. In this case, it is the electrical attraction between the atoms.A potential energy is energy related to some (conservative) force.

What are some forms of chemical energy?
electrical energy, thermal energy, and potential energy
What are the disadvantages of working as an electrical engineering?
No disadvantages.
What are thetwo disadvantages of this concept in determining consumer behaviorand how are these disadvantages overcome?
What are some disadvantages or advantages in chemical energy?
Is electrical enerty potential energy?
the answer is no electrical energy is something plunged or it has battery's and potential energy is some thing that moves and its waiting to do something
How do you get energy from batteries?
You hook them up to an electrical circuit, and the energy would appear as electrical energy that the circuit can then transform into some other format.
Does a toaster use nuclear energy and how?
A toaster converts electrical energy into thermal energy. Some of that electrical energy may have come from a nuclear power plant.
What is the energy transfer when you iron some damp clothing?
Electrical energy into heat energy
