A system that receives energy from external sources is called what?

A system that receives energy from external sources is called an open system. In an open system, energy can be exchanged with its surroundings.


How can you can increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?

To increase the energy possessed by electrons, you can provide them with external energy sources such as heat or light. This can excite the electrons to higher energy levels. To decrease their energy, you can remove external energy sources, causing the electrons to lose energy and move to lower energy levels.


when work is done on a system by an external force, the system?

When work is done by an external force, the system will have more energy in it than it did before.


What is the relationship between heat added to a system and the internal energy and external work done by the system-?

When heat is added to or is absorbed by a system, its internal energy increases. The amount of external work a system can do essentially refers to the amount of energy it can transfer to something else. So when internal energy increases, so does the external work done by the system.


Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?

External sources of energy entering the Earth system include solar radiation and cosmic rays. Solar radiation, the primary external energy source, drives various processes and is essential for sustaining life on Earth. Cosmic rays, though less significant than solar radiation, also contribute to the energy balance of the planet.
