Where is solar energy found in the US?
Solar energy is found in the sun and converted to either thermal or electrical energy
How can nuclear fission generate electrical power?
Nuclear fission process results in thermal energy production (this due to mass difference before and after of fission). This thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through electric generators.
What happens to the chemical energy in the battery when you use a electric toothbrush?
The chemical energy is initially converted to electrical energy. This electrical energy works its way through a motor and is converted to mechanical energy.
What do Space heaters convert most of the electrical energy in a circuit into?
thermal energy
What energy transformation in an electrochemical cell cell when charging and discharging?
Energy is converted from chemical energy to electrical energy.
Electrical energy thermal energy?
The electrical energy of thermal energy is called kinetic energy. An example of electrical energy converted to thermal energy is a toaster drawing current from an electrical outlet.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
When you turn on a toaster what happens to the electrical energy?
The electrical energy gets transformed into electromagnetic (light) energy and thermal (heat) energy.
What is the energy conversion of a dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and kinetic energy.
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?
Inside a toaster, electrical energy is converted to heat (and a little bit of light) energy.
In a photocell light energy is converted into?
Electrical Energy
What electrical energy converted inside a toaster?
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?A. thermal energy and lightB. nuclear energyC. chemical energyD. kinetic energy
When electrical energy is converted into thermal energy what must be true?
The total amount of thermal energy plus chemical energy changes.
What kind of energy could resistance in an electrical wire be converted to?
Thermal
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What kind of energy is used in a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy
What are the main energies an escalator is converted into?
It converts electrical energy into kinetic energy (and some thermal energy).
