TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY
-
Chemical to Mechanical: The energy in food (chemical energy) is converted into mechanical energy when we move our muscles.
-
Electrical to Thermal: An electric heater converts electrical energy into thermal energy to warm a room.
-
Mechanical to Electrical: A wind turbine converts the mechanical energy of spinning blades into electrical energy.
-
Chemical to Electrical: Batteries convert chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices like flashlights and phones.
-
Solar to Electrical: Solar panels convert radiant energy from the sun into electrical energy.
-
Nuclear to Electrical: Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy into thermal energy, which is then used to produce electrical energy.
-
Mechanical to Sound: A guitar string converts mechanical energy (plucking the string) into sound energy.
