How does a generator produce electricity?

Back

A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, typically by spinning a coil within a magnetic field.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object based on its position or state.

Front

What role do batteries play in energy transfer?

Back

Batteries store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy when needed.

What is the relationship between motion and electrical energy in a bike?

Back

In a bike, the motion of pedaling can be converted into electrical energy to power lights or other devices.

Front

What is the source of electricity for homes?

Back

The electrical outlet in homes is connected to a power plant, which generates electricity.

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
