EGEE 101 STUDY TEST QUESTIONS
WITH ALL CORRECT ANSWERS
when geothermal energy heat pump is used it provides what? and what does it not
provide? - Answer-it provides heating, cooling, and hot water. it does not provide
electricity
if we use less electricity in the home, there are less what? - Answer-particulate
emissions, NOx emissions, mercury emissions, SO2 emissions, and greenhouse gas
emissions
the electromagnetic spectrum covers a range of wavelength values. which is the closest
size to wavelengths for a microwave? - Answer-golf ball
the R value is used in? - Answer-determining the insulating properties of a material
what light bulb uses less electricity? - Answer-led?
which heat transfer best describes the warmth felt from a hot, yellow, luminous campfire
6 feet away? - Answer-radiative
which portion of the transmission system do you pick via energy choice in PA? -
Answer-generation
an appliance that uses electricity when it is not in use - Answer-vampire
one process that makes biomass handling and its use easier in boilers - Answer-
torrefaction
which heat transfer would best describe why you would burn yourself if you picked up a
hot poker left in a fire - Answer-conductive
how does coal form? - Answer--organic matter that falls or is washed into the swamp
will be protected from the usual decay process because of low oxygen concentration in
the water. decay will occur in the less bio-resistant material, leaving behind the bio-
resistant organic material. which forms peat-low rank coals form.
solar heating with an electricity is a form of what? - Answer-passive
