How is electricity made

Where does the journey of electricity begin according to Mr. Bradley?

• At a substation

• At a power station

• At a transformer

• At a hydroelectric plant

What is the function of a turbine in the electricity generation process?

• To cool down the generators

• To convert electrical energy into mechanical energy
  

• To spin and generate electrical energy

• To store electricity for later use

What is used to keep the turbines spinning?

• Wind

• Water

• Burning coal, oil, or gas

• Solar Energy

What type of power plant uses water to turn a turbine?

• Coal power plant

• Wind power plant

• Hydroelectric power plant

• Solar power plant

What does a transformer do to the voltage of electricity?

• It stops the electricity from flowing

• It increases or decreases the voltage

• It generates electricity

• It converts electricity into heat

What does a transformer do to the voltage of electricity?

• It stops the electricity from flowing

• It increases or decreases the voltage

• It generates electricity

• It converts electricity into heat

Why should we not touch high voltage transmission lines?

• They are too heavy

• They are not connected to anything

• They are made of plastic

• They can cause electric shock

What happens to the voltage when electricity reaches a substation?

• It is increased

• It is decreased

• It remains the same

• It is turned off

Where can small metal transformers often be found?

• In the basement

• Inside homes

• On top of posts

• In power stations

How does electricity travel from the service panel to different parts of the home

• Through the air

• Through wires in the walls

• Through pipes

• By being carried by people
