    Renewable resources like wind and water turn turbines that spin generators to convert kinetic energy to electricity via electromagnets. Fossil fuels and biofuels are burned to produce steam that turns generators via electromagnets, also producing greenhouse gases. Solar cells convert sunlight directly to electricity while solar heating panels use sunlight to heat water. Nuclear power uses fission of unstable atoms to heat water and spin generators, but produces radioactive waste requiring safe disposal.

    P3.2 How it works- resource to useful energy


    (Most) renewable Resource turns a turbine, which turns a generator, which turns kinetic energy into electrical energy
    resources using an electromagnet.
    Fossil fuels and Resource is burned (producing greenhouse gasses), heating up water into steam, which rises and
    biofuels turns a generator, which turns kinetic energy into electrical energy using an electromagnet.
    Solar cells Solar energy is converted into electrical energy via photovoltaic cells.
    Solar heating Solar energy is used to heat up water
    panel
    Nuclear Unstable uranium and plutonium atoms split are apart in nuclear fission, releasing a lot of energy
    heating up water into steam, which rises and turns a generator, which turns kinetic energy into
    electrical energy using an electromagnet. The used radioactive waste must be safely disposed of.
