6.1.1 Energy sources - Renewable energy and non-renewable energy

● Electricity is generated
through various energy
sources.
● These different energy
sources can be classified
into two main groups,
namely renewable energy
sources and
non-renewable energy
sources.

 6.1.2 The process of generating electricity from various source of
energy

❏ A generator is a device used Crank

to generate electricity.
❏ Two main components that Magnet
generate current in a
generator are magnet and
coil of wire.
❏ When the crank of the
generator model is turned, a
current known as induced Coil of
current is produced. wire
In 1831, a scientist named Michael Faraday conducted a series of investigations on the
generation of electricity using a magnetic field. Electric current is produced by:

● Movement of the wire which causes

the magnetic field lines to be cut.

● A connecting wire or solenoid is

moved rapidly through the space
between the magnetic poles.

● An induced current is produced in

the connecting wire or solenoid, and it
flows through the galvanometer.

● The pointer in the galvanometer

deflects.
● Movement of the magnet which
causes the magnetic field lines to
be cut.

● A magnet is moved, so that the

magnetic field lines are cut by the
connecting wire or solenoid.

● An induced current is produced in

the connecting wire or solenoid, and it
flows through the galvanometer.

● The pointer in the galvanometer

deflects.

Answers
2. Induced current is detected based on the lighting up of the LED. Induced current is
produced and flows through the LED. Therefore the LED lights up.
3. Current is induced when magnetic field lines are cut.
4. Sound energy, heat energy, light energy.
5. (a) LED lasts longer and does not burn out easily.
(b) LED will light up when electric current flows through as compared to filament bulb
which only lights up when its filament is hot enough.
