How the wind can be turned into electricity?

well due to wind turbines it spins and the wind is collected it is turned into electricity


Why energy is lost from power transmission cables?

Losses are mainly due to electrical resistance.


How train speed is affected by air resistance?

Air resistance makes it difficult for the train to go beyond a certain speed, since the engine can no longer keep up with the amount of energy lost due to air resistance.Air resistance makes it difficult for the train to go beyond a certain speed, since the engine can no longer keep up with the amount of energy lost due to air resistance.Air resistance makes it difficult for the train to go beyond a certain speed, since the engine can no longer keep up with the amount of energy lost due to air resistance.Air resistance makes it difficult for the train to go beyond a certain speed, since the engine can no longer keep up with the amount of energy lost due to air resistance.


Is there a link between the height the ball is dropped from and the height to which it bounces?

Yes. Under ideal circumstances - no air resistance, elastic collision (i.e., perfect bounce), the ball should bounce back to the same height from which it was dropped, due to conservation of energy. In practice, some energy is always lost, both due to air resistance and to a non-perfect bounce.


The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?

The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.

Is electricty faster than light?

Electricity can move at the speed of light but no faster. In general it won't due to electrical resistance.


Write short note on superconductivity?

A material which has no resistance to electricity. When passing current through a superconductor, there is no loss of electrical power due to these materials.


What does electricity refer to?

It is the complex ratio of the voltage to the AC (alternating current) circuit. It extends the concept of resistance to AC circuits due to magnitude and phase.


What is the reason why it is better to use high voltage instead of low voltage on long distance?

High voltage reduces the amount of energy lost due to the resistance of the transmission material (conductor), by reducing the current. In other words, increasing voltage reduces current, and lower current means less resistance loss. Voltage and current have an inverse relationship, and later on when the electricity gets closer to the consumer, voltages can be decreased which increases the current. Increased current means higher resistance, and it is resistance that does the work.


What is Golden Dye?

A cathodic electro paint system to confer where resistance and excellent weathering properties due to its high degree of UV resistance and comparatively lost cost coating process then silver and copper.


What would happen if the world lost electricity for one week?

If the world lost electricity for one week there would be allot of hardships. Hospitals and doctor offices would lose power, have to run off of generators, and would lose many ways of treatment for the patients. Families would lost food due to there being no power for refrigerators. Stores would go out of business, companies would lose tons of money, and mayhem will hit due to the people not knowing how to react to no electricity.


Why does scandium have magnetite in it?

Yes, because all metals have the potential for conducting electricity, since metals easily give up electrons due to low ionization energy. These results into a lattice of positively charged atoms and a sea of electrons... this sea of electrons is responsible for electricity, when they the electrons are channelled in a way as to go in one direction. However, there is a thing called resistance, the lower the resistance the the more electricity can pass through a metal,. Metals with high resistance don't conduct electricity very well.... Hope it helps


What energy transformations occur in a toaster?

The energy transformation occur in toaster is electricity is converted into heat.Electric energy to heat energy. If a toaster is turned on and active by electricity, there is heat given to burn whatever bread or toast you are toasting.


How iron is heated due to electricity?

Iron (like all material) has resistance to current flow. When electrons do flow through iron you get the standard I squared R losses ... all of which is heat.
