PHY 205 Lecture Notes - Lecture 44: Nuclear Fission, Solid Solution, Electric Generator
Document Summary
The ability of a solute to dissolve at a certain temperature. alloy. Diagrams that help to visualize the transformation of energy from one form to another. The energy source and the energy received are named. the law of conservation of energy states that energy may change form but cannot be created or destroyed under ordinary conditions. Energy is transformed from one form to another with some energy lost to the system as thermal energy at each conversion. In a wet cell the electrolytes are liquid. In a dry cell they are solid or pastelike. electrodes. The parts of a cell through which charges enter and exit. Chemical changes between the electrolyte and the electrodes convert chemical energy into electrical energy. voltage. The potential difference between two points in a circuit. magnetic field. When magnetic fields interact, the forces of repulsion and attraction can attraction cause mechanical motion to occur. electromagnet.
