What are 3 alternative sources of energy?
Solar power Takes energy from phtons emmitted from the sun. Hydro power Takes power from currents of water turning a turbine. Nuclear power Splits atoms to release energy
What are the energy conversions which takes place in such power stations using fuels to generate electricity?
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
Is hydro power renewable energy source?
yes, hydro-power is considered a renewable energy source because it is easily gained and easily "re-made". Other Examples of this is biomass, geothermal energy and windpower. non-renewable energy is considered anything that takes a LONG time to make, like millions and billions of years! an example is oil, coal or natural gas.
What energy transformation takes place using a alarm clock?
In an alarm clock, electrical energy from the battery or power outlet is transformed into mechanical energy to move the clock hands or generate sound energy for the alarm.
What energy resource takes its heat from underground rocks?
Geothermal energy takes its heat from underground rocks, which are heated by the Earth's core. This heat is harnessed through geothermal power plants to generate electricity and provide heating and cooling for buildings.
When does fission take place in power plant?
Fission takes place in a nuclear power plant continuously to generate heat by splitting uranium atoms in a controlled manner, producing energy. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine to generate electricity.
What energy takes place in the boiler?
In a boiler, thermal energy from a fuel source is converted into heat energy. This heat energy raises the temperature of water or another fluid, turning it into steam or hot water which can be used to generate power or for heating purposes.
Which energy source takes the shortest time?
Nuclear energy takes the shortest time to generate electricity compared to other energy sources like solar or wind, as the nuclear fission process can produce large amounts of power consistently once the reactor is operational.
What energy conversion takes place in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is converted into heat through a process called nuclear fission. The heat produced is used to generate steam, which in turn drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
What energy changes takes place at the hydro electric power station?
Gravitational potential energy in the water is converted into mechanical energy by turning turbine "blades", the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) is converted to electrical energy by the electric generator.
What energy takes place in a hand crank flashlight?
A hand crank flashlight typically uses mechanical energy from your hand turning the crank to generate electrical energy, which charges a rechargeable battery or capacitor. This electrical energy is then used to power the light emitting diode (LED) in the flashlight.
Why are mitochondria sometimes called powerhouses of a cell?
we recently had a bio test in our school in which the same question was aked so the right answer was as follows..........mitochondria does the cellular respiration that's why its called the power house of the cell......................
