Electricity

There are many sources of electricity such as:

Fossil fuels: coal, oil and wood.

Where does electricity come from?

Most of the large electrical appliances in our homes are powered by mains electricity. Mains appliances change or convert this electrical energy into other forms of energy such as heat, movement, sound and light.

Many small electrical appliances use batteries. Batteries are also a source of electrical energy. Battery powered appliances also convert electrical energy into heat, light, sound and movement energy.

Electricity can be generated using coal, gas, nuclear fuels, the wind or sunlight.

It is normally generated in big buildings called power stations which then distribute it to our homes and schools through transmission lines.

We understand electrical energy converts into different forms of energy

through different devices- movement, light, sound and heat.

For example

…a type of light energy …a type of sound energy

…a type of heat energy…a type of movement energy

Device Electricity source

Battery or mains

Purpose Energy typeSound, light, heat

or movement

torch battery light

Complete the table. Use devices in your home or from outside.
