Concept:
Energy is a phenomenon which is transferred from one object to another in the form of heat, as a result, it performs work. When the energy is transferred from one object to another, it changes its form and this phenomenon is called conservation of energy. The following types of energy are discussed below:
Renewable sources of energy is that energy that can be derived or grown again after consumption. Plants can be derived with the help of seeds. The main characteristics of renewable sources of energy are:
- It is necessary for protecting the environment.
- It does not produce pollution.
- It can be exploited for a long period
- It is produced continuously in nature and is inexhaustible
While the non-renewable source of energy is produced by fossil fuels and can not be recycled. Also, it takes millions of years to produce but eliminates quickly. Coal, petrol, diesel, uranium are examples of it. It is also called a Conventional source of energy.
