P3 Energy Resources
Forms of Energy
Gravitational potential
Elastic potential
Magnetic
Light
Thermal
Sound
Nuclear
Electrical
Kinetic
Chemical
Energy Amounts
GJ= gigajoules
TJ= terajoules
MJ= megajoules
PJ= petajoules
KJ= kilojoules
Fossil Fuel Problems
This leads to global warming and climate change
They are non-renewable
Greenhouse gases are released
Acid rain is created as nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide are released
Light and Photons
Sunlight emits trillions upon trillions of photons
A solar cell collects photons and converts them into a flow of electrons- an electric current
Think of light as being made up of tiny particles called photons
Nuclear Power
Cons
Non-renewable
Expensive
Dangerous (chernobyl)
Risk of nuclear contamination
Pros
Provides employment
Improved technology (reduces risk)
No CO2
More efficient
