ENERGY
> Ability of a body to do work is energy
> Types
> Kinetic energy: energy possessed by a body due to its
motion (KE = % MV?)
» Potential energy: energy possessed by a body due to
its position (PE = Mgh)
> Chemical Energy: energy stored in a body due to its
chemical bonds b/w atoms & molecules
» Mechanical energy: KE + PE
> Forms: Heat, Electricity, Light, Nuclear, Sound

Natural resources such as oil, gas, coal, wood,
wind, sunlight and waves can be used to produce
energy. These are energy resources.
@.=Noa tenable Bavegy Loony
Non-renewable energy sources are things like oil, 3
natural gas and coal. They cannot be easilyreplaced, (
because they have taken millions of yearstoform. (e
We are using them faster than they are being made.
This means that one day they will run out!
Renewable energy resources like wind power,
wave power, solar power and biofuel can be
easily replaced and will not run out.

What is an LED?
D.LEDs are semiconductor diodes, electronic devices that permit
current to flow in only one direction.
O The diode is formed by bringing two slightly different materials
together to form a PN junction .

determines its color.

* Biofuels are made from crops.
Ideally biofuels should be carbon
neutral — absorb carbon dioxide
as they grow and then give off
carbon dioxide when they are
burnt.
However fossil fuels are used in
the production of biofuels, for
example in making fertilizers so
they are not carbon neutral.
