what we call poor conductors
insulators
1 of 23
*** much energy do gases have
lots
2 of 23
how much energy does solids have
not much
3 of 23
why is copper a good conductor
because it has lots of ions with free electrons
4 of 23
oil, coal and gas are ...
fossil fules
5 of 23
growing crops to make fossil fules
biofuel
6 of 23
fossil fules produce this greenhouse gas
carbon dioxide
7 of 23
what most appliances produce as wasted energy
heat
8 of 23
energy from the earths hot rocks
geothermal
9 of 23
the unit of energy
joule
10 of 23
energy stored in fuels and food
chemical
11 of 23
these cells convert sunlight to electricity
solar
12 of 23
type of energy source that will never run out
renewable
13 of 23
network cables transmitting electricity to homes and businesses
national grid
14 of 23
what is evapouration
when the particles in a liquid escapes to form a vapour
15 of 23
when is evaporation rapidly occuring
at boiling point
16 of 23
the number of Joules in a 100 Watt bulb transfers in 10 seconds
1000
17 of 23
these materials are good conductors of heat
metals
18 of 23
energy of moving electrons
electricity
19 of 23
why is heated fluids less dense then cooler fluids
the heated particles gain energy so spread out and take up more space
20 of 23
the time it takes for an energy saving improvement to pay for itself
payback
21 of 23
what is a convection current
heated particles rise and as they cool sink again
22 of 23
what materials have that make them good conductors
free electrons
