Generating and Transmitting Electricity

AB
The water behind the dam haspotential energy
As the water flows through the penstockit gathers kinetic energy
Wave, Wind, Sun and Geothermalenergy is renewable energy
Petroleum is anon-renewable energy resource
The energy produced by a hydroelectric power stationcomes originally from the sun
Photovoltaic cells convertlight energy directly into electrical energy
Thermocouples can be used to measuretemperature
The temperature of liquid helium-269 degrees Celsius
The temperature of liquid nitrogen-196 degrees Celsius
High voltage on transmission lines causeelectromagnetic fields
A solar cell is aphotovoltaic cell
A superconductor offers almost noresistance to the flow of electric current
A thermocouple is a device that makes use of thethermoelectric effect to produce electricity
The thermoelectric effect is due todifferences in temperature
Piezoelectric Effect is caused bysubjecting certain types of crystal to stress
