Any substance that has an electrical resistance will convert electrical energy to heat - in other words, most substances. The exception are superconductors. A device specifically designed to dissipate electrical energy is called a resistor or resistance.

What is a substance that builds up energy from electricity causing heat?

Any substance that has an electrical resistance will convert electrical energy to heat - in other words, most substances. The exception are superconductors. A device specifically designed to dissipate electrical energy is called a resistor or resistance.


How can you change energy into electricity?

By causing the energy to turn a generator/alternator.


When a substance cools kinetic energy causing the speed of the molecules to?

decreases; increase


What would increase a temperature of a substance?

When a substance is heated the temperature is increased. This occurs because energy enters the substance which will increase the kinetic energy of the molecules,thus causing a rise in temperature.


How does friction generates static electricity?

because when friction builds up too much energy it is released through spraks and so.


What is the substance most direct source of the energy that an animal cell uses for the synthesis of materials?

Electricity.


Why does expansion happen?

Expansion occurs when a substance is heated. The energy given to the molecules in the substance causes them to vibrate and so they get pushed further apart, causing the substance to expand.


How does friction produce internal energy?

Friction produces internal energy because of force. When force builds up it creates energy thus causing friction. The more force on something the more energy it will build up.


What is a energy and energy transfer?

Energy is that which changes the state or location of a body or substance. Energy transfer is the movement of energy through a medium. E.g. conduction of heat, electricity, sound, light.


Is electricity a mixture element or compound?

Neither. Electricity is not a substance. Electricity is a kind of energy represented by the continuous movement of electrons from one atom to another, or the accumulation of a static electrical charge.


What energy change takes place in wind turbines?

They turn mechanical energy into electricity. The wind impacts the turbine blades causing them to rotate. The rotating blades turn a generator which produces electricity.


What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?

The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.
