5. Vocabulary Review  Kinetic energy - the energy possessed by bodies in motion  Potential energy - the energy possessed by bodies at rest and ready to do work  Mechanical energy - the energy associated with the motion and position of an object  Generator - a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy  Turbine generator - a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into electrical energy or useful work  Linear generator –a device that induces electrical energy by a sliding magnet that moves back and forth through a solenoid - a spool of copper wire  Electromagnetic induction – a process in which electric current is produced by moving a wire loop through a magnetic field or by moving a magnet through a loop of wire  Motor - a machine designed to convert energy into useful mechanical motion

8.  Heat is generated to boil water. As the water turns into steam it turns a turbine which then makes the generator produce electricity.

9.  A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy ◦ Turbine generator ◦ Linear generator

10.  When the device is shaken back and forth, the magnet oscillates through the coil and induces an electric current. Shake Flashlight

12.  As the turbine turns, the rotor (which is either the coil of wire or the magnet) connected to it will also spin with respect to the stator. If the magnet is the rotor, the coil of wire is the stator, and vice versa. The relative motion between the magnets and the coils of wire induces electrons to move through the wire, therefore producing electricity.

13.  Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a voltage (emf) to be "induced" in the coil

14.  changing the magnetic field strength  moving a magnet toward or away from the coil  moving the coil into or out of the magnetic field  rotating the coil relative to the magnet

15.  Linear Generator  Turbine Generator ◦ Wind ◦ Hydroelectric
