Is a battery operated flashlight an example of thermal or electrical energy?

Clearly the bulb itself operates on electrical energy, but this is produced by the battery from chemical energy. I don't see any connection with thermal.

What is a flashlight battery an example of?
It's an example of a dry cell battery.
Is a flashlight an example of a parallel or series curcuit type?
A flashlight is an example of a series circuit; a battery in series with a switch in series with a bulb.
A flashlight battery is an example of what scientific word?
alkaline charge. batteries are basic, as opposed to acidic.
What are the three energy transformations that take place when you use a flashlight?
The energy transformations that I would mention are as follows:Chemical Potential Energy --> Electrical Energy (In Battery)Electrical Energy --> Light Energy (In Bulb)Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy (In Bulb)Transformations 2 and 3 happen at the same time, because 3 is a side-effect of the intended transformation 2. I can't think of any other transformations, unless you wanted to consider the process of making the battery, or take the example of an unconventional flashlight.
Which is an example of electrical energy being converted into light energy?
a flashlight bulb an LED the coil in a toaster
How does a flashlight work?
A flashlight has a power source (usually ordinary batteries), a light source of some sort (a light bulb or LED, for example), and some electrical wiring to connect them, with a switch to turn it on and off. The power source makes the light source give off light.
What is an example of a DC power source?
Anything that works on a Battery is a DC (Direct Current) like Cellphone, Flashlight, ipad, ipod and you laptop.
Is energy stored in a battery a example of electrical energy?
No. By itself, it is not. There are 2 chemicals in the battery that combine to make electricity. When you connect the 2 ends of the battery, that is chemical energy. By itself, the battery is an example of Chemical Energy. -Eric
What is an example of a change from electrical energy to chemical energy?
The process of charging a storage battery.
Example of chemical energy to electrical energy?
Any battery cell that's being used.
What are everyday uses of series circuits?
Your battery-powered flashlight is a good example of a DC series circuit. Battery power is DC. The battery is connected to a wire or piece of metal that's connected to a switch that is connected to an incandescent light bulb (resistor/thermistor) which is then connected to another piece of metal or wire which is connected to usually a spring in the end of the flashlight which creates a ground to the negative terminal of the battery.
What is an complete circuit?
A circuit is complete whenever current can flow from the battery (or what is producing current), through the circuit, and back to the battery. A complete circuit could contain just a battery and one wire. An incomplete circuit could be a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal, because current cannot flow all the way through the circuit in this case (i.e. cannot flow through the battery). note: not all elements in a circuit may have current flow in a complete circuit. For instance, a light bulb may be shorted but you still have a complete circuit.
