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.


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.


Disadvantages of geothermal energy?

Some disadvantages of geothermal energy include the potential for depletion of reservoirs if not managed properly, the risk of induced seismic activity from injection and extraction of fluids, and high upfront costs for drilling and infrastructure. Additionally, not all regions have suitable geothermal resources for energy generation.


What electrical component can hold a charge?

A capacitor is an electrical component that can hold an electrical charge. It stores energy in an electric field when connected to a power source and can release this stored energy when needed.


What are the disadvantages of geothormal energy?

Some disadvantages of geothermal energy include the high upfront costs of building geothermal power plants, the limited availability of suitable geothermal resources in certain regions, and the potential for environmental impact such as land subsidence and induced seismic activity in some cases. Additionally, the technology required for harnessing geothermal energy is still developing and may not be as mature or widely available as other renewable energy sources.
