Study Notes
Energy
Types of Energy
- Renewable Energy: Energy that is sustainable and replenished naturally, reducing reliance on finite fossil fuels.
- Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion, associated with an object's movement.
- Potential Energy: Energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
- Nuclear Energy: Energy released from the nucleus of an atom, typically through fission or fusion reactions.
- Thermal Energy: Energy transferred as heat, often used to generate electricity.
Energy Sources
- Wind Energy: Energy generated from harnessing wind using turbines, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
- Solar Energy: Energy generated from the sun's rays, converted into thermal or electrical energy.
- Electrical Energy: Energy generated from the movement of charged particles, often distributed through power grids.
- Coal Energy: Energy generated from the combustion of coal, a non-renewable fossil fuel.
Energy Conservation
- Importance: Reducing energy consumption to mitigate climate change, conserve resources, and minimize waste.
-
Strategies:
- Improve energy efficiency in buildings and appliances.
- Increase use of renewable energy sources.
