Is a candle thermal energy or energy?
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
What type of energy is in a lit candle?
Chemical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.
What is the name of the energy that you use to light a candle?
Thermal Energy is created because its creating heat!
Does a candle has more energy or less energy?
The wax in a candle can be thought of as having energy locked up in the chemical bonds which can be made available for use by lighting the candle. In that way it is "potential energy". In a strict sense, however, potential energy for a candle would be restricted to how far you could drop it in a graviational field. In standard physics, the equation for potential energy P is: P=mgh where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the height of the object (how far you can drop it).
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
Is a candle thermal energy or energy?
The candle itself isn't but the flame is thermal energy.
What kind of energy does a candle have?
Chemical energy to thermal. Thermal to electrical
What is the energy of a flaming candle?
the energy in flame of a candle is thermal energy.
A burning candle is what kind of energy?
A burning candle produces thermal energy and light.
Examples for thermal energy?
candle,campfire
Energy flow diagram for a candle?
The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy.
What kind of energy does a campfire fireworks and a burning candle all produce?
light and thermal energy
What type of energy is in a lit candle?
Chemical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.
Is thermal energy created or used?
neither, Law of conservation of energy in a nutshell: energy cant be created or destroyed. Energy can be converted nothing else. IE: when you burn a candle you are CONVERTING the chemical energy stored in the candle into thermal energy.
What is the name of the energy that you use to light a candle?
Thermal Energy is created because its creating heat!
What 3 energy transfers come a burning candle?
Three main things come from a burning candle: light, heat, Thermal energy x
