Examples of renewable energy sources are hydropower,
waves, solar, tides, winds, biomass, and geothermal.
Examples of non-renewable energy sources are nuclear
energy, coal, natural gas and diesel.
Refer to Module 19 HEBAT Sains (Earth Resources)
Build a simple generator that can light up LEDs, using
magnets and coils of wire. It should be stressed that
current is induced only when the magnetic field is cut.
Carry out a group discussion on how electricity is
generated in power stations using various sources of
energy.
Use a cathode ray oscilloscope to show the difference in
the shape of the graph, direction of the current and voltage
change for direct current (d.c.) and alternating current
(a.c.).
Note:
Most generators generate a.c. while solar cells and
batteries produce d.c.
