Power and efficiency
Description
This program defines electric power and explores in general terms a variety of means by which it is produced, transmitted, and consumed. Efficiencies and inefficiencies relating to energy conservation are discussed in relation to power production, transmission, and consumption, with a particular focus on the efficiencies and inefficiencies associated with the conversion of electricity to light. Specific modules include Efficiency I: Power Production; Power; Efficiency II: Power Transport; Power Transmission; Power Consumption; Inefficiency I: The Light Bulb; and Inefficiency II: The Fluorescent Bulb. Correlates to all National CTE Organizational Standards (including the provisions of the Perkins Act)
