  • Electrical work done example

    • Energy required to overcome resistance in wires of a circuit
  • Nuclear fuels

    • Non-renewable
    • Radioactive waste (needs to be disposed of safely)
  • Biofuels

    • Renewable
    • 'Carbon neutral', so low impact
  • Wind

    • Renewable
    • Takes up large areas that could be used for farming
    • Some people say windmills spoil the view
  • Hydroelectricity

    • Renewable
    • Local habitats are affected by the large areas that need to be flooded to build dams
  • Geothermal

    • Renewable
    • Low impact
  • Tides

    • Renewable
    • Tidal barrages can block sewage which needs to go out to sea
  • Sun

    • Renewable
    • Low impact
  • Water waves

    • Renewable
    • Low impact
  • Charge is a property of a body which experiences a force in an electric field. Charge is measured in coulombs (C).
  • The potential difference (or voltage) of a supply is a measure of the energy given to the charge carriers in a circuit. Units = volts (V). This is the voltage between two points that makes an electric current flow between them.
