|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Generator | A device that uses a magnetic field to turn mechanical-kinetic energy into electrical energy. (motion --> electricity)
🗑
|
||||
| Turbine | A huge wheel that rotates when pushed by water, wind, or steam.
🗑
|
||||
| Convection | The transfer of heat energy by movement of the heated substance itself, as currents in fluids (liquids and gases). Hot goes up, cool goes down
🗑
|
||||
| Radiation | The transfer of heat energy through space without particles of matter colliding or moving to transfer the energy. (using rays or waves)
🗑
|
||||
| Electric Circuit | A closed, conducting loop in which electric current can flow continually
🗑
|
||||
| Conduction | The transfer of heat energy between particles as they collide within a substance or between two objects in direct contact. (touching)
🗑
|
||||
| Transformation | The process of something being changed from one form to another form.
🗑
|
||||
| Motor | A device that uses a magnetic field to turn electrical energy into mechanical-kinetic energy. (electricity --> motion)
🗑
|
||||
| Mechanical Potential | Stored energy
🗑
|
||||
| Mechanical Kinetic | The energy an object has due to its motion
🗑
|
||||
| Heat | The energy of the moving particles that we can feel through temperature.
🗑
|
||||
| Solar | Energy that comes from the sun that takes the forms of both heat and light.
🗑
|
||||
| Chemical | Energy stored in particles of matter that release when the chemical bonds are broken
🗑
|
||||
| Electrical | Energy due to the flow of electrons usually through a wire
🗑
|
||||
| Light | Energy that travels in the form of rays or waves, often when an electric current is passed through a light bulb.
🗑
|
||||
| Sound | Energy that travels through substances in longitudinal waves (vibrations)
🗑
|
||||
| Energy | The ability to do work or to cause change
🗑
|
||||
| Law of Conservation of Energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It may be transformed from one form to another, but the total amount of energy never changes.
🗑
