2. During Power Stroke, the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited. What is the
role of air during this stage?

3. Burned gases are released from the exhaust during the exhaust stroke
operation. What effect do these gases contribute to the environment?

4. During which stage is the heat absorbed? Given off?

II. THINK, ANALYZE, AND EXPLAIN!

Directions: Analyze the diagram below then answer the following guide

questions.

Guide Questions:

1. Based on the given diagram, determine the energy conversion that occurs in
each of the following descriptions below.
Descriptions Energy Conversion

1. The turbine is powered by high

pressurized steam provided by the
steam generator.

2. Turbine-powered generators
generate electricity, which is then
transferred to the transformer.

2. How does a powerplant generate electricity? Explain your answer.

YOUR HOME?
Directions: Identify the components described in the generation, transmission, and
distribution of electricity in our community. Choose from the word pool and answer
the questions that follow.
Power Station Transmission Station
Control Panel Distribution Pole Transmission Tower Distribution
Substation

Transmission Line Service Drop Wire

Station Description/Function

Also referred to as the power plant where

electrical energy is generated by a huge
generator.

It is a rigid structure used to support and route power

in the transmission line

It is a long conductor especially designed to carry
a huge amount of power at very high voltage to
the substation.

Uses huge transformers to “Step up” voltage from

the power plant.
 Uses smaller transformers to “step down” high
voltage so it can be sent through distribution poles

An area where a small transformer mounted on

to further reduces the voltage to 110-220 volts

Provides a path for the power from the distribution

pole to the house (consumer).

Distributes power through wires in the walls and

through a meter that measures the amount of
electrical energy used.

Answer the following:

1. What happens to the voltage as electrical energy is transmitted from the

power station to the consumers?

2. What is the difference between step-up transformers and step-down

transformers?

3. Write down the correct sequence of the flow of electricity from generating
down to your home.
