F.A.Q.

• What is a simple definition of energy?
  
  Scientists define energy as the ability to do work. Despite this confusing definition, its meaning is very simple: energy is just the force that causes things to move. Energy is divided into two types: potential and kinetic. Modern civilization is possible because people have learned how to change energy from one form to another and then use it to do work.
  
   
  
• What are the 9 types of energy?
  
  The different types of energy include thermal energy, radiant energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, motion energy, sound energy, elastic energy and gravitational energy.
  
   
  
• What are the 7 main forms of energy?
  
  Our most common forms of energy are: mechanical, chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, sound and nuclear energy. There is sometimes called a hidden energy...and that's sound.
  
   
  
• What is the most powerful energy?
  
  As you can see, nuclear energy has by far the highest capacity facto r of any other energy source.
  
   
  
• What are the 3 basics of electricity?
  
  There are three primary electrical parameters: the volt, the ampere and the ohm.

  • Volts - The pressure that is put on free electrons that causes them to flow is known as electromotive force (EMF).
  • Amperes (Amps) - The ampere defines the flow rate of electric current.
  • Ohms - The ohm is the unit of resistance in a conductor.

  
  
   
  
• How does electricity flow?
  
  Current flows from positive to negative and electron flows from negative to positive. Current is determined by the number of electrons passing through a cross-section of a conductor in one second. Current is measured in amperes, aka "amps".
  
   
  
• What is Ohm's law for dummies?
  
  Ohm's Law is V = IR, where V = voltage, I = current, and R = resistance. Ohm's Law allows you to determine characteristics of a circuit, such as how much current is flowing through it, if you know the voltage of the battery in the circuit and how much resistance is in the circuit.
