Investigate electrical circuits for transferring and transforming electricity (ACSSU097)

The resources sector is vital to the production of energy through both renewable and non-renewable sources.  Thermal coal provides the majority of the power for Australia while metallurgical coal is needed to make the components of wind turbines. Copper, nickle and other minerals are used in the production of solar panels and electrical wiring.
