What type of energy is generated by using the earth heat?
Geothermal energy is generated by using the earth's heat. This renewable energy source involves tapping into heat stored beneath the Earth's surface to produce electricity or provide heating and cooling for buildings.
How does boiling a kettle increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
The boiling water itself does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is just water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, but is not carbon dioxide. However, in order to boil the water, you need heat. This heat can be generated by 1) burning wood, 2) burning natural gas, or 3) using electricity. Burning wood or natural gas releases carbon dioxide. Using electricity does not release carbon dioxide, but generating electricity usually does. Most electricity in generated by burning coal, which releases carbon dioxide. Only if the electricity is generated by nuclear, hydro-electric, wind or solar power will there be no carbon dioxide released.
Which activity involves using fossil fuels directly or indirectly?
Driving a car involves using fossil fuels directly by burning gasoline to power the engine. Using electricity generated from fossil fuels to charge an electric vehicle involves using fossil fuels indirectly.
What problems faced power stations to transmit electricity to the cities?
One major problem was how to transfer electricity over long distances, without loosing the current. The current may dissipate over a long circuit, so what you get at the city is only a fraction of what you generated at the plant. This problem was overcome by using large transformers. They convert high current/low voltage to a low current but very high voltage. The electricity is then carried across land with minimal losses and once nearer its destination will be converted back to a higher current/lower voltage through the use of further transformers.
Is hydroelectric and hydrogen the same?
No, hydroelectric power is generated using water flow to turn turbines and produce electricity, while hydrogen is a chemical element used as fuel in hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity. Both are renewable energy sources, but they differ in their methods of energy production and application.
What types of electricity generated by using some type of motion?
Alternating current and static electricity. Pulses of current made via piezo electricity would be called d.c.
How can electricity be generated using magnets?
Electricity can be generated using magnets through a process called electromagnetic induction. When a magnet moves near a coil of wire, it creates a changing magnetic field, which induces an electric current to flow in the wire. This current can then be harnessed as electricity for various applications.
How do you generate current from water?
Current can be generated from water by using hydroelectric power plants. These plants capture the energy from flowing water, typically from rivers or dams, and convert it into electricity using turbines connected to generators. As the water flows through the turbine, it causes it to spin, which then generates electrical current.
How is heat electricity generated?
Heat electricity is generated through a process called thermoelectric conversion, where heat energy is converted into electrical energy using materials that can produce an electric current when exposed to a temperature difference.
How can electricity be generated using wind?
using wind turbines !
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using what kind of resources?
Electricity for recharging batteries should be generated using resources which are renewable. Renewable resources will not run out.
What do you call electricity generated using water from reservoirs?
Hydropower.
Can electricity be generated without using man-made materials?
yes electricity collects in clouds to form lightning and in living organisims such as the electric eel. Also static electricity can be generated using friction (in hair for example).
What electricity is generated using water?
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
What percent of the world's electricity generated using gas?
In 2011, twenty-one percent of the world's electricity was generated using gas. Physicists expect that number to rise to twenty-five percent by 2040.
How does water mess up electricity?
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
How is electricity current produce a sources of electricity?
by using electrons to solar energy
