Different Sources of Energy

• Solar Energy. The primary source of energy is the sun.
• Wind Energy. Wind power is becoming more and more common.
• Geothermal Energy. Source: Canva.
• Hydrogen Energy.
• Tidal Energy.
• Wave Energy.
• Hydroelectric Energy.
• Biomass Energy.

Primary energy sources take many forms, including nuclear energy, fossil energy — like oil, coal and natural gas — and renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower.

The five sources of power and influence are: reward power, coercive power, legitimate power, expert power and referent power.

Introduction to Major Energy Sources Energy sources can be classified into two types: nonrenewable and renewable. Nonrenewable resources, such as fossil fuels and nuclear material, are removed from the earth and can be depleted. These resources have been the most used type of energy in the modern era.

Hydroelectric power, using the potential energy of rivers, is by far the best-established means of electricity generation from renewable sources. It may also be large-scale – nine of the ten largest power plants in the world are hydro, using dams on rivers.

two different types

There are two different types of current in widespread use today. In a direct current, the electrons flow in one direction. Batteries create a direct current because the electrons always flow from the ‘negative’ side to the ‘positive’ side. In a direct current, the electrons travel in one direction.

AC – Alternating Current

Electric charges are of two general types: positive and negative.

A constant current (steady current, time-independent current, stationary current) is a type of direct current (DC) that does not change its intensity with time.
