Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions
1,424 wordsPhotosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules. Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth. The net process of photosynthesis is described by the following equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in the presence of sunli...

Speed Of Light Lightning Bolt
3,469 wordsElectricity Electricity WHAT IS ELECTRICITY Electricity is a form of energy. Thats because we can use electricity to do things for us, like run machines and computers. Electricity also can be transformed into other types of energy such as heat or light and is used to heat our homes, light our cities and towns and power the computers we are using. Electricity is the type of energy that is invisible. Its made of moving electrons that are so small and move so fast that we cannot see them. The elect...

Valence Electrons Electric Field
1,130 wordsSolar cells today are mostly made of silicon, one of the most common elements on Earth. The crystalline silicon solar cell was one of the first types to be developed and it is still the most common type in use today. They do not pollute the atmosphere and they leave behind no harmful waste products. Photovoltaic cells work effectively even in cloudy weather and unlike solar heaters, are more efficient at low temperatures. They do their job silently and there are no moving parts to wear out. It i...

Amount Of Energy Magnetic Fields
1,648 wordsWeve all heard Untitled INTRODUCTION Weve all heard about superconductivity. But, do we all know what it is? How it works and what are its uses? To start talking about superconductivity, we must try to understand the how " normal" conductivity works. This will make it much easier to understand how the " super" part functions. In the following paragraphs, I will explain how superconductivity works, some of the current problems and some examples of its uses. CONDUCTIVITY Conduc...

Positive And Negative Positively Charged
1,073 wordsStatic Static Electricity Static Electricity Static electricity is electricity at rest, which is an accumulation of electric charge. This source of energy is the opposite of moving electric charge, known as electric current. It is part of the study of phenomena resulting from electric charge, called electrostatics. Electrostatics is actually one of the foundations of knowledge about electricity. Static electricity is clearly the oldest known form of electricity. The earliest understandings of st...
