Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between naturally occurring electricity and human-harnessed electricity?

  • Naturally occurring electricity is only visible during thunderstorms, while human-harnessed electricity is visible in power outlets.
  • Naturally occurring electricity is only found in nature, while human-harnessed electricity is created in laboratories.
  • Naturally occurring electricity is weaker than human-harnessed electricity due to its natural origin.
  • Naturally occurring electricity is generated by natural phenomena like lightning, while human-harnessed electricity is produced using technology like solar panels. (correct)

How does solar energy contribute to the production of human-harnessed electricity?

  • Solar energy is used to create artificial lightning, which is then harnessed for human use.
  • Solar energy powers natural occurrences of electricity, which can be harnessed by humans.
  • Solar panels absorb natural lightning and convert it into usable electricity for humans.
  • Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can then be used as human-harnessed electricity. (correct)

What role do solar panels play in the context of obtaining information about naturally occurring and human-harnessed electricity?

  • Solar panels serve as a technology example for obtaining human-harnessed electricity and understanding its difference from naturally occurring electricity. (correct)
  • Solar panels are primarily used to generate naturally occurring electricity for scientific observation.
  • Solar panels are solely used to study naturally occurring electricity and have no relevance to human-harnessed electricity.
  • Solar panels are only used for educational purposes and do not contribute to the understanding of either type of electricity.
