Flame not only conducts electricity it also rectifies ( changes from AC to DC) This process is used in many modern furnaces to establish a flame is present.

How does electricity come from candle?

I can think of three ways whereby a candle could produce electricity: 1). Heat water with the flame. When the water boils, use the steam to spin a turbine mounted to an electrical generator. 2). Place the flame close by a photovoltaic cell, which can convert a part of the candle's heat and light to electrical energy. 3). Place a pinwheel behind the candle flame, attached to an electrical generator, and wait for someone to come along and blow out the flame.


How does gas apply to conduction?

Gas can conduct heat through the process known as gas conduction, where heat is transferred through collisions between gas molecules. This occurs in gases with high thermal conductivity, where molecules have more kinetic energy and collisions are more frequent. In this process, heat is transferred from a higher temperature region to a lower temperature region within the gas.


What made the energy of the flame change on a Bunsen burner?

The energy of the flame on a Bunsen burner can be changed by adjusting the air intake. By increasing the amount of air mixed with the fuel gas, a hotter, more intense flame can be produced. Conversely, reducing the air intake will result in a cooler flame.


How does a gas lamp work to produce light?

A gas lamp produces light by burning a fuel, such as natural gas or propane, in a controlled flame. The heat from the flame causes the gas molecules to release energy in the form of light, creating a bright and steady source of illumination.


What energy does a Bunsen burner use?

A Bunsen burner typically uses natural gas, propane, or butane as a fuel source to produce a flame for heating or sterilizing purposes. The flame is ignited by a spark or a pilot light, and the intensity of the flame can be adjusted by controlling the flow of gas and air.

Can the equation of kinetic energy of a gas be applied to a flame?

Yes, because kinetic energy is apart of the laws of physics, and can be applied anything that is in motion. Each molecule in the combustion process (that are in motion) are bound the laws of physics just as anything else in this world is. Therefore a flame must have kinetic energy, but in minuscule amounts.


What type of energy are you using when you turn on a car?

Cars usually run either on gasolene or on natural gas - that is, chemical energy. An electrical car would also have electrical energy stored in its batteries.Cars usually run either on gasolene or on natural gas - that is, chemical energy.

How does flame rectification works in a gas furnace?

Flame rectification in a gas furnace involves using an electrical signal to detect the presence of a flame. When a flame is established, the electrical properties of the flame change, allowing the sensor to confirm its presence. This signal is used by the control system to ensure the furnace continues to operate safely and efficiently.

Does the kettle use electrical energy or mehcaniclenergy?

The kettle uses heat energy. Depending on your type of stove, that heat will usually come from chemical energy (in a gas stove), or electrical energy (in an electrical stove).

Why is electrical energy inexhaustible and renewable?

Electrical energy is a PRODUCED energy, not a SOURCE energy. It is produced by other things- burning oil, gas or coal, or uranium uses non-renewable energy.

What types of energy does an oven have?

An oven typically uses electrical energy to power its heating elements, which then convert electrical energy into heat energy to cook food. Some ovens may also use gas as an energy source, where the combustion of gas generates heat energy for cooking.
