4. Definition of energy Unit of measurement: the joule (J). The ability of a system to do work. A physical quantity which produces a change or effect. ENERGY

5. Characteristics of energy Energy can be transported. Energy can be transformed. Energy can be transferred. Energy can be preserved. Energy can be degraded. Energy can be stored.

6. A battery stores chemical energy. Chemical energy Food is stored chemical energy. This is stored energy contained in chemical compounds. Chemical energy is released during chemical reactions.

7. Electrical energy Electric charge travels through wires in a circuit. This is energy produced by the flow of electric charge.

8. HEAT Thermal energy energy transfer movement of atoms and molecules This is energy which is released as heat. Energy transfer. When two objects at different temperatures are in contact, heat flows from the hotter to the colder object.

9. microwaves Electromagnetic energy light This is energy stored in electromagnetic waves or radiation. television waves radio waves

12. Sun Nuclear energy The nucleus splits into two or more parts. Nuclear fusion Nuclear fission The nucleus joins to other nuclei. Nuclear power station Atomic explosion This is energy stored in the nuclei of atoms. energy energy

13. Energy sources Renewable and non-renewable energy sources used to produce electricity (2005) coal natural gas oil 8.9 % 19.9 % 28.2 % 16.6 % 26.2 % uranium Renewable energy sources 49.1 % 45.2 % 4 % hydroelectric energy eolic energy biomass energy 1% solar energy

14. Uses: electricity, fuel, heat chemicals, plastics, etc. crude oil Oil pipeline extraction A naturally ocurring thick, flammable liquid. refining process transport Remains of plants and animals

15. Coal Open pit mines Underground mines Uses: electricity, heat, steel An organic sedimentary rock formed from plant material. Anthracite coal produces the most heat.

16. gas pipeline Natural gas Uses: electricity, heat, fuel Regasification facility A gaseous fossil fuel, consisting mainly of methane. It is found in oil felds, natural gas fields and coal beds. transport liquification extraction

17. Uranium A natural occurring element found in rock, soil and water. cooling tower transformer generator condenser steam generator reactor core (uranium fuel) control rods turbine

18. Uses: heat, electricity and gases, such as ethanol Biomass energy This is energy obtained when organic matter is burned. Energy crops Organic waste Plant materials

19. Hydroelectric energy This is energy produced by the movement of water. maximum kinetic energy minimum potential energy Uses: heat, electricity minimum kinetic energy maximum potential energy transformer generator Hydroelectric power station lock gate turbine

20. Solar energy Lighthouse This is energy derived from sunlight. Homes Photovoltaic solar power facility Uses: heat, electricity Solar water heater hot water out cold water in

21. Eolic energy Wind turbine This is kinetic energy produced by the wind. Wind farm Uses: heat, electricity blades tower anemometer and wind vane shaft generator

22. Geothermal energy volcanic areas hot springs and geysers Uses: heating systems This is energy generated by the heat from within the Earth.

23. Tidal energy This is energy generated from ocean movement, mainly from tides. Energy is generated by the difference in height between high and low tide. SEE ANIMATION High tide Low tide

24. turbine generator low tide Lock gate opens. Water flows out of the reservoir. Lock gate closes. The reservoir is full of water. Water flows into the reservoir. Lock gate opens.
