- generated in different ways with different environmental impacts
- electromagnetism
Elaboration
ways of generating electricity including the use of wind, water, coal, geothermal, and solar energy
- the electromagnetic force is responsible for both electricity and magnetism
- moving or changing a magnetic field relative to a wire produces electric current (e.g., electricity generation by a turbine)
- an electric current passing through a wire produces a magnetic field (e.g., constructing a simple electromagnet using a wire, iron nail and battery)
