Karten in diesem Stapel (7)
- 1What is the equation for power?power = voltage x current
- 2What are the disadvantages of wind turbines?Spoil the landscape, need a high wind speed, take up a large area.
- 3What is the difference between direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC)?Direct current has a voltage which is always the same. It is always in one direction. Alternating current has a voltage that switches smoothly between positive and negative values.
- 4Why does the National Grid use transformers?If you increase the voltage, the current decreases. The lower the current, the less heat is produced (hence reducing energy lost).
- 5Name examples of non-renewable energy sources.Coal, crude oil, natural gas.
- 6How can you detect nuclear radiation?Using a Geiger-Muller (GM) tube.
- 7What is decommissioning?Taking a building down after usage.
