What do electricity and heat have in common?
Yes. These both are the different forms of energy (heat energy , electrical energy).These can be converted one to another as per the conservation of energy- " Energy canneither be created nor be destroyed but we can convert one form to another. "Example:1.In thermal power plants, the heat energy is converted into electrical energy.2.In Electric heater, the electrical energy is converted into the heat energy. They can both be used to transfer energy, electricity through a wire or similar conductive material, and heat by conducting through a metal or grill. They can be changed one into the other. For instance, electricity passed through something with high resistance creates heat, whilst heat can be used to make steam and power turbines which make electricity.
What is the difference between a resistor and an inductor?
Both a resistor and an inductor are electrical components designed to impede the unregulated flow of electricity. Where they differ is that inductors store energy in their induction coils which forms a magnetic field that focuses energy by the principle of inductance. As electricity passes into the inductor, current will slowly rise to a specified level. A resistor simply impedes the flow of electricity according to its property, but does not store energy. It also does not control the rate at which the current changes, it just changes the current allowed to pass through.
How safe is hydroelectric energy?
Hydro electric energy is extremely safe, all that happens is that water streams through a pipe which moves a tubine inside the pipe which is connected to a generator which generates electricity that is sent straight into the power grid. its simple
Thomas Edison and george westinghouse both worked wonders with what?
electricity
Do charges move from a source of potential difference into a load or through both the source and the load?
As the circuit must be a closed loop, the current passes through both the source and load. If it was not a closed loop no current could flow anywhere.
