• • Joule /second

State the law of conservation of energy.

• Energy can be created and destroyed.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

• Energy can only be transferred.

• Energy can be transformed into matter.

What are the three methods of heat transfer?

• conduction, convection, and radiation

• evaporation, condensation, and sublimation

• compression, expansion, and adiabatic cooling

• reflection, absorption, and transmission

What is the unit of electric current?

• Coulomb

• Voltage

• watt

• Ampere

Define potential energy.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its temperature.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its color.

• Energy possessed by an object due to its velocity.

Explain the process of conduction.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through radiation.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through direct contact between particles of a substance.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through convection.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?

• Renewable energy sources can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable energy sources are finite and cannot be replenished.

• Renewable energy sources are more expensive than non-renewable energy sources.

• Renewable energy sources produce more pollution than non-renewable energy sources.

• Renewable energy sources are less efficient than non-renewable energy sources.

What is the formula to calculate electrical power?

• P = V/I

  (Power = voltage / current)

• P = VI

  (power = voltage . current)

• P = I/V

  (Power = current / voltage)

• P = EV

  (power = energy . voltage)

How does a solar panel convert sunlight into electricity?
