What kind of energy is being produced by sunlight - heat or electricity?
Sunlight is light, and it has light energy. Different types of solar panels can convert that to heat energy, or to electricity.
What are two different sources of energy that can be converted to electricity by a generator?
Two different types of energy are wind,and water.
What are all waves produced from?
Different types of waves are produced in different ways. One thing they all have in common is that they transfer energy; and it takes energy to make them in the first place.
What are 3 types of electric energy?
Three types? I can think of more than that. But I suppose if we group some together: there is mechanical energy, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy. Thermal energy in a power station is transformed into mechanical energy so is covered by that. But then both wind energy and hydro energy convert to mechanical before the electricity is produced. So really at a fundamental level there seems only mechanical and solar. Mechanical would include fossil fuels, (coal, oil, natural gas,), nuclear, wind, incinerators, hydro, geothermal, and biomass, which all drive a mechanical device to produce the electricity. Solar produces electricity directly from photovoltaic cells so that is not mechanical.
How many types of alternative energy are there and what are they?
there are at least 7 different types. Wind, hydro electrical,geothermal, biomass, nuclear power, solar, and by pedaling a bike or other exercise on a machine you can use magnets to create electricity. By: Dragon Guerrero

Find out about different types of electricity generation?
current energy and static energy!! i hope this is correct !! :)) but it is true ;)
What are the different types of energy used in the auto industry?
Steam, electricity, sun, gas

How power plants work?
A power plant turns different types of fuels into other forms of energy. This energy powers the turbines. The turbines create the electricity. Different fuels make different kinds of electricity.
Can electricity make solar energy?
No. Solar and electric are two different types of energy. The only thing that can produce solar energy is the Sun.

What types of energy are in electricity?
This energy is usually called "electrical energy".
How is a electrical energy produced at power plants?
There are many different types of power plant but they all produce electricity the same way: by spinning huge magnets around an iron core inside a device called a turbine.
Do different types of hair carry different types of electricity?
No, static electricity is the same on any type of hair.
