2. Energy and Electrical Introduction

3. What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work, or cause change. Energy is literally what makes the world and everything in it go. Energy is the magic stuff stored in the battery that makes the flashlight work. The gasoline in a car’s gas tank contains energy. The car’s engine merely converts the gasoline’s energy into a usable form. Energy is the ability to do work, or cause change. Energy is literally what makes the world and everything in it go.

4. While there are many forms and sources of energy, there are only two types: there are only two types: Potential Kinetic

5. “ energy associated with motion.” “ energy associated with motion.” When discussing kinetic energy, it’s important to keep in mind that the mass and velocity of an object determine its kinetic energy. We can take a look at kinetic energy by throwing a basketball and a baseball.

6. Potential “The energy something has which is stored and not moving.” “the energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or because of the arrangement of parts” because the matter has the potential, or opportunity, to do work. “the energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or because of the arrangement of parts” because the matter has the potential, or opportunity, to do work. There are two types of potential energy: elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy. There are two types of potential energy: elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy. Water behind a dam has gravitational potential energy. Water behind a dam has gravitational potential energy. A stretched rubber band has elastic potential A stretched rubber band has elastic potential

7. Forms of energy Mechanical — the energy of motion Mechanical — the energy of motion Electrical — think lightning or electricity moving through electrical wires Electrical — think lightning or electricity moving through electrical wires Electromagnetic or radiant — energy of magnetism and light Electromagnetic or radiant — energy of magnetism and light Chemical — energy produced by chemical reactions like those that occur in batteries Chemical — energy produced by chemical reactions like those that occur in batteries Nuclear — potential energy stored in the nuclei of atoms Nuclear — potential energy stored in the nuclei of atoms Sound — the energy of vibrating sound waves Sound — the energy of vibrating sound waves Heat – from burning fuel or the earth Heat – from burning fuel or the earth

8. Energy Conversion Many of the devices we use every day convert energy from one form to another. Many of the devices we use every day convert energy from one form to another. These devices are called transducers. These devices are called transducers.

9. Transducers Flashlight — converts chemical energy (stored in the battery) to electrical energy to light the bulb. The bulb converts the electrical energy to electromagnetic or radiant energy. Flashlight — converts chemical energy (stored in the battery) to electrical energy to light the bulb. The bulb converts the electrical energy to electromagnetic or radiant energy.

10. Transducers Toaster — converts electrical energy into thermal energy. Toaster — converts electrical energy into thermal energy.

11. Transducers Car engine — converts the chemical energy stored in the gasoline into mechanical and thermal energy. Car engine — converts the chemical energy stored in the gasoline into mechanical and thermal energy.

12. Transducers Convert one energy type to another. Convert one energy type to another.

14. Generator – A mechanical device that produces electricity by a process of rotating a magnet inside a coil of copper wire. A generator is a transducer that uses rotary mechanical motion to produces electricity.
