SECTION GENERATORS SUPPLY ELECTRICAL ENERGY. 7.4 Reading Study Guide A BIG IDEA Current KEY CONCEPT can produce magnetism, and magnetism can produce current. Generators supply electrical energy. Vocabulary electric power rate at which electrical energy is generated from another energy source watt unit of measurement for power kilowatt unit of power equal to one thousand watts kilowatt-hour one kilowatt of power for a one-hour period Review 1. A generator changes ____________ energy into ____________ energy. Take Notes I. Generators provide most of the world’s electrical energy. Complete the graphic organizer. List five sources of energy used to turn a power plant’s generators. Falling Water Generator Electrical Energy A–B. Generating Electrical Energy 3. Summarize the three steps of how electric power is generated. (Hint: Refer to the diagram in your textbook.) 1. 2. 3.
