Energy Transformation in a Solar Car
Description: In the world of science, energy transformation is a fascinating concept. Imagine a solar car kit where sunlight is transformed into kinetic energy, propelling the car forward. This process is a prime example of the conversion of one form of energy into another.
The Scientific Theory: Solar energy, harnessed by the solar panel on the car’s roof, undergoes a remarkable transformation. Sunlight is composed of tiny packets of energy called photons. When these photons strike the solar panel, they excite electrons within the panel’s silicon cells. This excitement of electrons creates an electric current, which is a flow of charged particles. This electric current, in turn, powers an electric motor in the car.
Now, here’s where the magic happens! The electric motor converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. As the motor runs, it drives the wheels of the solar car, causing them to turn. This motion, thanks to the transformation of energy, propels the car forward, demonstrating the incredible journey of energy from the sun to motion on the ground.
Learning outcome:
Have a better understanding of a Solar Car to exemplify the conversion of solar energy into kinetic energy for sustainable transportation using the model built by the student in this project
