What is produced by heat within earth?
Heat within the Earth produces geothermal energy, which can be harnessed for various purposes such as generating electricity, heating buildings, and greenhouse agriculture. This heat is generated from the decay of radioactive elements, residual heat from Earth's formation, and the heat from the Earth's core.
Why do water companies add chlorine to water?
Water companies add chlorine to water to disinfect and kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause waterborne diseases. This helps ensure that the water is safe for consumption.
Heat rising from within earth causes earth's what to move?
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the Earth's tectonic plates to move. The constant rising and sinking of heat are called convection currents.
Is there still current in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is off?
Assuming there is not a "power outage" to all houses in the area (otherwise known as a "power cut") then the answer is:
Yes, the potential (voltage) is still in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is only turned off at its own main switch inside the main breaker box.
What principal used in water meter and speedometer?
The principle used in a water meter is typically based on measuring the volume of water passing through the meter using a mechanical or electronic mechanism, such as a turbine or piston, and converting this into a flow rate or total volume. Speedometers measure the speed of a vehicle by utilizing a sensor that calculates the rotation of the vehicle's wheels and converts this into the corresponding speed displayed on the gauge.
What does the spinning wheel in an electric meter tell you?
The spinning wheel in an electric meter, also known as a disc or rotor, measures the amount of electricity consumed in your home. The faster the wheel spins, the more electricity is being used. This information is used by utility companies to calculate your energy usage and bill you accordingly.
What size ground wire for a 200 amp service panel to the water meter?
For a 200 amp service panel to the water meter, it is recommended to use a 4 AWG copper wire or 2 AWG aluminum wire as the ground wire. This will provide sufficient grounding capacity for the service panel and meet code requirements. Be sure to check local electrical codes for specific requirements in your area.
How much to operate a mercury vapor light?
As with any other light bulb or other appliance, it depends on how many watts you use. Since your electric bill is predicated on how many kilowatt hours you use, an example would be the mercury vapor lamp is 1500 watts, and you use it for six hours a day for 20 days... for each hour you use it, the cost is 1.5kW X whatever the utility charges you X the number of hrs, which in this case is 120hrs.
What is the average power used by a domestic refrigerator in the UK?
The same as anywhere else in the world! The answer depends entirely on the size of the unit. To get some idea of the power used by different household electrical appliances go to any shop which sells them and read the information displayed about each unit.
How much horsepower does a human generate?
Most people can only generate about one-half horsepower for only a of horsepower for only a few minutes, however, since a horse weighs about 5x-7x that of a person, generating one-half the horsepower is quite an amazing feat. There is a pretty cool video that compares the work generated by NFL running back, Marshawn Lynch, versus a diesel truck. Check it out:

What is the blast radius if the Fukushima power plant explodes?
Nuclear plants don't blow up like atomic bombs do because they do not reach 'critical mass' levels where an uncontrolled chain reaction occurs. They DO however get so hot the fuel rods holding the radioactive pellets melt -- that's why they are water cooled. No coolant = no heat control the reactor heats to 1000 degrees and melts into a pool of radioactive sludge that settles into the bottom of the containment vessel. At that point you can have hydrogen gas buildup and explosions but they are chemical not nuclear. They will be using robotic cleaners for a long time at Fukusima.
Can a magnet slow down an electric meter?
Yes, definately yes. The Magnet will pull the spinning disk on the electricity meter resulting for that disk to slow down and THE RESULT OF MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILL will decrease 25%.
Just place the magnet on both sides of the Electricity Meter then It will slow down.
WARNING: Do not get caught by the Readers or you will busted for jail!
WORKS ON ME! :D
The water meter is used to show how much of water you have consumed, for the month, a monthly reading is done and you must pay , or the authorities will cut your water supply.
Water meters are also used in public water supply system. Water meters can also be used at the water source, well, or throughout a water system to determine flow through that portion of the system.
In addition, its is an incentive to conserve water and it helps in the distribution of water.
British Gas electricity prices?
From what i found out, they are charging 0.196p/kwh (Pence per kilowatt hours.)
But this is only what they could tell me without me signing up my meter. You may have to check on price comparison websites, cause I'm not sure that it's correct.
What is a measure of electrical energy called?
A measure of electrical energy is called a kilowatt-hour (kWh). It is commonly used to quantify electricity consumption on utility bills and represents the amount of energy used by devices over a period of time.
What is the problem can be for load cells?
Some potential problems with load cells include drift in calibration over time, damage to the strain gauges due to overloading or shock loading, electrical noise interference affecting readings, and incorrect installation causing misalignment or instability. Regular calibration, proper handling, shielding against electromagnetic interference, and careful installation can help mitigate these issues.
What type of energy source is electricity?
Electricity is a secondary energy source which means it is produced from primary energy sources such as oil, gas, nuclear energy, wind, coal, solar, etc.
It may be called an energy carrier.
What is the oldest nuclear power plant in the world?
The Obninsk Power Plant, which is located in Obninsk, Russia. It was first built in 1954.
What Nuclear material is used in nuclear power plant?
The reactor is usually initially fueled with uranium (for water moderated reactors this is enriched to 3% uranium-235, but other designs may be enriched more or less than that). A few reactors (e.g. reactors in France) are initially fueled with plutonium or a mixture of both uranium and plutonium.
After a reactor has operated for a period of time significant levels of transuranic elements have built up in the reactor core, these will also fission and the reactor uses them also as fuel (but unless it is a fast breeder reactor it neither produces nor burns these transuranic fuels very efficiently.
Note: a fast breeder reactor contains no moderator to slow neutrons and therefor if fueled with uranium usually requires it to be enriched to 93.5% uranium-235, commonly referred to as weapons grade uranium). The advantage of a fast breeder is that it efficiently converts the normally unusable uranium-238 to plutonium and other transuranics. The plutonium it produces would have far too much plutonium-240 and plutonium-241 in it (due to long fuel burn cycles) for use in weapons and could be used to fuel nuclear reactors of other types. It is also able to efficiently burn all the transuranics it produces, meaning the waste it produces would contain little more than the fission products which all have short halflives; therefor this waste would only have to be stored a few hundred years (not the tens of thousands of years that the wastes of current reactors must be stored, because they still contain unburned plutonium and other transuranics).
How much oil is produced daily?
81millions barrels a day as of 2008 results this number is to increase
How do you prevent glitter from shedding?
To prevent glitter from shedding, you can seal it with a clear adhesive spray or varnish. Make sure to apply multiple coats and allow each coat to dry completely before adding the next one. Additionally, handle items with glitter carefully to minimize friction and rubbing that can cause shedding.
The acronym SCF generally stands for the Self-Consistent Field method, which is a computational method used in quantum chemistry to approximate the electronic structure of molecules.
The energy possessed by an electron at a set of distance from the nucleus.
