Logistics: In the military, this is the field of work that deals with supplying, maintaining, and moving forces in the field of operations.
Grid: The system through which electrical power is circulated through a region.
Natural: The wealth of a nation located in its environment. For example, the resources located in water, forests, land, and mineral deposits (gold, oil, natural gas, etc.).
Sustainability: The ability of a system to be sustained over long periods of time without being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources.
Watts: A measure of the use of electrical power. In electricity, one of these is equal to current (amps) multiplied by voltage (voltz).
Volts: The amount of “pressure” that drives electricity through a circuit. The higher the _____, the more electrical current will flow in the circuit.
Amps: A unit of measurement that describes the amount of energy flowing through a circuit at a given time. So, for example, _____ would measure the amount of energy flowing through a small section of wire over a period of one second. Also known as amperes.
Calorie: The amount of heat that can be generated from food as a fuel source. For example, 94 ______ worth of heat can be generated by our bodies after eating one tablespoon of peanut butter.
Energy: The ability of a system to do work. For example, your body’s ability to move an object, or the ability of a car to drive 5 miles, comes from its ______.
Power: The source of energy used to operate a machine or other system. So, for example, the electricity that comes from the wall socket to light the lamp in a bedroom.
Work: The transfer of energy from one object to another. ______ is equal to the amount of force multiplied by the distance over which it is applied.
Renewable: Energy obtained from resources that are virtually inexhaustible and/or replenish naturally over small time scales (like a human lifetime, for example, as compared to the lifetime of the sun).
NonRenewable: Something that cannot be restored or replenished. Once this thing is gone, it won’t come back during one or even a hundred human lifetimes.
Joules: A unit that measures energy or work. It would take 2 million of these to make a pot of coffee.
Photo: This word originally meant light in Ancient Greek. The sun’s energy travels to the earth as photons, which are particles or waves of radiant energy.
Voltaic: Something that relates to electricity or electric currents.
Alternating: An electric current that repeatedly changes its direction or strength, usually at a specific and regular frequency. ______ current is used by power stations because its strength can be altered quickly and easily depending on the energy needs of the system.
Direct: An electric current that moves in one direction with constant strength. This current is consistent and cannot be altered easily. Batteries are a source of ______ current.
Battery: A device containing an electric cell capable of storing energy that can then be used for electrical power. Some devices that use batteries are cars, flashlights, and portable radios.
Solar: Using or operated by energy from the sun.
BTU: The Amount of heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, at sea level. This unit of measurement was invented by the British.
