Contents[Show] The energy of an object is its ability to do work. Energy is the cause and work is its effect. Therefore both work and energy have the same units‚ which is joule (J) in the SI system and erg in the CGS system. Energy is also a scalar quantity. Energy exists in many forms. Examples Mechanical energy which is either in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy or a combination of the both‚ electrical energy‚ light energy‚ thermal energy‚ nuclear energy and sound energy etc. Potential

Solar Energy: Earth’s Future Imagine our planet with clean‚ fresh air. No pollution throughout our whole world. This image is a possibility‚ using solar energy. Solar energy is the harnessing of the sun’s energy and converting it into energy that we can use to accomplish tasks. Everybody should get involved in solar energy because it helps improve our environment‚ is efficient in terms of saving money and time‚ and helps us prepare for the living of future generations. Solar energy is becoming

SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

Informative Speech April 24‚ 2011 Energy Efficiency There are various sources of energy available for use. However‚ energy is a limited and sparse resource that is not in abundance at all places. There is an ever rising need for more energy‚ but the energy supply and resources are limited. As a result‚ people have to develop means that can enable them to survive with the small amount of energy that is available. The proper and sustainable use of energy is known as energy efficiency. Efficiency is attained

mean by sustainable energy? Sustainable energy is about using energy wisely and using energy generated from clean sources and clean technologies. Wise energy use is the first step to ensuring we have sustainable energy for present and future generations. Being efficient with our energy will reduce our household and business energy bills‚ reduce the amount of energy we need to produce in the first place and cut energy related greenhouse pollution. So sustainable energy is not just about
