Solar (or PV) cells are made of many individuals cell stacked together, and these are made of materials called ______________.
diodes
electrometals
semiconductors
solarductors
Identify a con of using solar power as an energy resource.
It causes pollution
It is only available when there is sunlight
It is nonrenewable
It will not run out
Solar cells first became a practical energy source for NASA for what application?
Space Shuttle
Rocket boosters
Rovers
Satellites
What is the photovoltaic effect?
Process of creating photons from voltage
Process of converting kinetic energy into electricity
Process of creating light from electricity
Process of converting sunlight into electricity
What is the function of a turbine?
When it spins, it makes sparks, inducting electricity.
It transfers the energy from the flow of steam or water to the generator.
It speeds up the steam or water to keep it at a steady pace.
It controls the steam or water so it can be pumped around in a cycle.
Hydroelectric power is based on . . .
gravitational potential energy of water.
kinetic energy of water.
chemical potential energy of water.
elastic potential energy of water.
A benefit of hydroelectricity is it is reliable and controls floods.
true
false
What do you call the area where water is stored behind a dam?
reservoir
generator
refuge
turbine
What energy resource produces energy from recently living organisms such as leaves or plants? These materials can be burned to release energy.
Geothermal
Solar
Biomass
Hydroelectric
What is biomass energy?
any organic matter that can be used by burning wood and other plant life.
Radiant energy emitted by the sun.
a combustible black or dark brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter, found mainly in underground deposits and widely used as fuel.
made by tapping into steam or hot water reservoirs underground; the heat is used to drive an electrical generator.
Biomass can converted into fuel such as biodiesel and bioethanol
True
False
Among the sources of biomass are? (Choose 3)
agriculture
forestry
mining
livestock
What are wind farms and what do they do?
It's a power plant.
A bunch of wind turbines that generates power everywhere.
A bunch of windmills that generates power everywhere
A bunch of people that blow to create wind energy
Malaysia doesn't harness wind for power generation. Why do you think that is?
The technology is too expensive
Lack of interest in renewable energy
Inconsistent and erratic wind patterns
Insufficient wind speeds
What is an advantage of vertical axis wind turbine over the horizontal axis wind turbine?
It can harness winds from every direction without the need to reposition the rotor.
The blades are closer to the ground where the wind speed is higher.
The tower is strong to handle the heavy equipment on top.
The mechanical components are high off the ground so they don't have to be serviced periodically.
