　　Efficiency

　　For a heat engine, the ratio of work done by the engine to heat intake. Efficiency is never 100%.

　　Elastic collision

　　A collision in which both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

　　Electric generator

　　A device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil in a magnetic field; sometimes called a “dynamo.”

　　Electromagnetic induction

　　The property by which a charge moving in a magnetic field creates an electric field.

　　Electromagnetic spectrum

　　The spectrum containing all the different kinds of electromagnetic waves, ranging in wavelength and frequency.

　　Electromagnetic wave

　　A transverse traveling wave created by the oscillations of an electric field and a magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, m/s. Examples include microwaves, X rays, and visible light.

　　Electron

　　A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of the atom.

　　Electronvolt

　　A unit of measurement for energy on atomic levels. 1 eV = J.

　　Energy

　　A conserved scalar quantity associated with the state or condition of an object or system of objects. We can roughly dine energy as the capacity for an object or system to do work. There are many different types of energy, such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, chemical energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.

　　Entropy

　　The disorder of a system.

　　Equilibrium

　　The state of a nonrotating object upon whom the net torque acting is zero.

　　Equilibrium position

　　The stable position of a system where the net force acting on the object is zero.

　　小编提醒：单词的记忆要靠长期的坚持，考生们一定要持之以恒，每天都拿出来看一看背一背，让这些词汇在大脑中形成长期记忆，这样就不会轻易地忘记背过的词汇了。
