1 of 49
Define Conduction.
Where vibrating particles transfer their energy to neighbouring particles.
2 of 49
Define Convection.
When heat energy transfers energy from a hotter region to a cooler one B)
3 of 49
When energy is transferred by RADIATION, what energy store is it transferred to?
Thermal Energy Stores
4 of 49
Work done=....?
Energy transferred
5 of 49
In what ways can work be done?
Mechanically or Electrically.
6 of 49
Define the CONSERVATIONofENERGY Principle
Energy can be transferred usefully, stored, or disspipated but never created or d e s t r o y e d
7 of 49
Define Dissipated Energy
Wasted energy that cant be used usefully
8 of 49
Define a CLosed System
a system where nothing can enter or leave
9 of 49
Whats the net change in a closed system?
Zero.
10 of 49
Define Power
Rate of Energy Transfer
11 of 49
What does a Power Rating show?
the maximum operating powers of an electrical appliance.
12 of 49
Unit for Energy?
J(Joules)
13 of 49
How many kWh is there in a Watt?
1000W=1kWh
14 of 49
How do you calculate the cost of using an electical device?

Define a non-renewable source
A resource that will eventually run out
18 of 49
Examples of NOn-REnewable sOurces
Uranium, Plutonium, Coal, Oil, Gas
19 of 49
Whats an advantage of using non-renewable sources/
Reliable.Respond quick to changes in demand.
20 of 49
Cons of non-renewable sources
Contributes to global warming and greenhouse has emissions, Causes acid rain, dificult to dispose nuclear waste
21 of 49
Define a renewable source.
a source that doesnt run out
22 of 49
Examples of renewable sources
Biofuels, Wind, Sun, Hydroelectricity, Tides
23 of 49
Advantages of renewable sources
dont do as much damage to the envrionment
24 of 49
Cons to renewable sources
dont provide as much energy as non renewable sources and can be unrealiable
25 of 49
List the stages of a steam-driven turbine.
(1)Water is heated as fossil fuel burns(2)Water turns to steam,Turns Turbine.(3)Turbine generates Potential Difference by spinning a magnet near to wire(4)Current flows to National Grid
26 of 49
Pros of Wind Power
No fuel costs, no pollution
27 of 49
Cons to wind Power
Spoils View,Noisy, and doesnt respond to high demand.
28 of 49
Pros to Solar Cells
Energy is free and running costs are almost nil after intial costs,No pollution
29 of 49
Cons to Solar Cells
Run electricity to a small scale, suitable for sunny countries, cant produce power at night
30 of 49
Pros of Biofuel
Renewable,Can be used for fuel,No net change in atmosphere,Fairly Reliable
31 of 49
Cons of Biofuel
Expensive,Harder to respond to high energy demands, Lose in habitats for species. Increases methane nd CO2 emissions
32 of 49
Pros to Hydroelectricity
Immediate reponses to high energy demand, Reliable, Minimal running costs
33 of 49
Cons to Hydroelectricity
Flooding, loss of habitat for species.
34 of 49
Pros of Tidal Barrages
No pollution, Reliable,
35 of 49
Cons to Tidal Barrages
Affects boat access, Spoil views, Alters habitat for wildlife, dont work if water level is the same either side
36 of 49
Describe a Tidal Barrage
Big Dams across rivers with turbines in them and let out water when its full.
37 of 49
Why is our energy demand so high now?
Increasing population, technology advances, our lifestyles
38 of 49
Define the National Grid
Giant Web of wires and transformers that covers the UK and connects power stations to consumers
39 of 49
WHat do Transformers do for the National Grid?
THey increase generated electricity to a high p.d before going through national grid
40 of 49
What is A.C?
An Alternating.Current. Its direction of current is always changing direction which is produced by alternating voltages
41 of 49
Whats the Uk's a.c energy supply?
230V
42 of 49
Whats the frequency of the a.c supply?
50Hz
43 of 49
Define D.C
Direct.Current where current is only travelling in one direction,.
44 of 49
What are the names of the three wires in plugs for the UK?
Earth,Live,Neutral
45 of 49
What does an Earth Wire do?
Safety Purpose. 0V. GReen and Yellow
46 of 49
What does the Netural Wire do?
Electricity flows out of this wire. 0V. Blue
47 of 49
What does the Live wire do?
Voltage goes in. Alternates between -ve and +ve voltage. 230V. Brown
48 of 49
Why is it still dangerous to touch an electric socket even if its turned off?
Theres still a voltage in the live wire which could pass through your body
