    The document discusses five sources of electricity: 1) Dry cells which are lightweight and small, used in alarms and toys, and some can be recharged; 2) Accumulators which supply greater electricity but are heavy, rechargeable, and used in cars and motorcycles; 3) Solar cells which transform sunlight into electricity and are used in calculators and satellites; 4) Dynamos which transform kinetic energy into electricity using a rotating magnet and are used in bicycle lamps; 5) Hydroelectric energy which uses kinetic water energy from dams to generate electricity and is an important source in some countries.

    Sources of Electricity 1) Dry cell lighter in weight small in size can be rechargeable and some cannot.

    ot. Used in Alarm, Toys, Mobile phones 2) Accumulator Supply greater amount of electricity. Heavy in weight Inconvenient to use. Rechargeable. Used in car, motorcycles to start engines and to light up lamps. 3) Solar cells Transform light energy from the Sun into electrical energy. Used in calculators and satellites use me. 4) Dynamos A rotating magnet inside a coil of wire transform kinetic energy into electrical energy. Bicycle use dynamo to light up lamps. 5) Hydroelectric energy Important source of generating electricity in our country. It use the kinetic energy of water which is released from a dam to generate electricity.
