Is a flashlight battery auto potential or kinetic?

The actual process of flicking the switch of the flashlight is kinetic energy, as there is movement involved. However, when the flashlight is now turned on, it will be producing light energy.


Does a light switch change chemical energy directly in to light energy or does a flashlight?

The flashlight does.


What type of energy does a flashlight give off?

kenitc


Explain one reason why the flashlight might not light?

A flashlight may not light if there is no energy source or in this case battery.


What is the definition of energy transformations?

2. Energy can change from one form to another. This is called an energy conversion or energy transformation. • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total amount of energy stays the same. • In energy transformations, some energy is always lost to the environment as thermal energy. Examples of energy transformations and their uses: · A television changes electrical energy into sound and light energy. · A toaster changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light. · A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy. · A flashlight changes chemical energy from batteries into light energy. · Solar energy is converted into electrical energy using solar panels. · Campfires convert chemical energy stored in wood into thermal energy, which is useful for cooking food and staying warm.

When a flashlight is turned on when does energy conversion take place?

The stored chemical energy in the battery is transfered into light energy and heat.


Is any energy lost or gained when a flashlight is turned on?

Some energy is changed to heat and lost. The main energy is still be converted to light beam.


Examples of the thing that can be transformed from one another but the total amount of energy never changes?

Flashlight = chemical energy(battery) - electrical energy


What does the chemical energy stored in the batteries change into when the flashlight turns on?

Chemical energy stored in a battery changes into electrical energy.... Not so complicated


How is energy produced in a flashlight?

It isn't, it's only used up. Chemical energy from the batteries gets turned into light and a little heat.
