    Using energy

    resources to
    generate
    electricity
    P.V. Saketh Abhiram
    Until now
    We learnt about the different sources of
    energy which are not useful to us.
    But now
    ➔ You’ll learn how these sources help
    us in our day to day lives by
    generating electricity.
    Fossil fuels
    ➔ The thermal energy which is
    produced when the fuels are burnt
    turn into electrical energy.

    ➔ However, this causes a lot of


    pollution, just like many non-
    renewable energy sources.
    Wind energy
    It converts the kinetic energy
    of the air into electrical
    energy.

    It is eco-friendly and
    renewable but it’s weather-
    dependant.
    Nuclear
    energy
    This uses electrons going close to the
    speed of light inside a huge pool of water.
    This generates a lot of heat which boils
    the water and uses the steam produced
    by the boiling water to power a generator.

    It is one of the safest types of energy and


    one of the most efficient types of energy.
    Tidal energy
    A turbine pushes the high tide of the
    water to the low tide which is why the
    force of the water produces electricity.

    It is renewable but could damage marine


    life.
    Solar energy
    The sun produces very tiny amounts of
    electrons (energy) which is absorbed by
    the solar panels and used as electrical
    energy.

    Solar energy is safe, renewable but


    weather-dependant.
    Conclusion
    The raw energy produced by sources of
    energy isn’t useful for us but with the new
    era of electrical engineering, electricity is
    easily accessible for most households.

    Important note: A device


    named the “turbine”
    converts the thermal
    energy into kinetic
    energy which gets sent
    to a generator, tuning it
    into electrical energy.
    Thank
    you!
    Danke is “thank you”
    in German. 10% of the
    world's energy export
    comes from here!
