How is energy turned to mass What is an example of turning energy to mass?
Photosynthesis is an example of turning energy into mass. E=mc^2 is how energy is turned into mass.
Why would a computer reboot when any appliance like vacuum cleaner or dishwasher is turned on?
The electrical circuit voltage drops when an appliance is turned on. (Lights dim, etc.) A new circuit is needed or you could purchase a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) to act as a buffer and prevent the voltage drop. JR
What are energy vampires?
Energy vampires are products that consume energy even when they are turned off.
A 60 Watt appliance is plugged into a 120 Volt AC outlet How much current is the appliance drawing when it is turned on?
Amps (current) times volts = watts. so watts divided by volts = current (Amps). i.e.- 0.5 Amps.
Why would you get a shock when unplugging an appliance that is turned off - I accidentally touched the metal prong on the plug as I was unplugging it - Was this why?
The switch to the appliance is down stream from where the power comes in from the plug. Even though the appliance is turned off at the switch the appliance has electricity up to the switch. As you stated there will be voltage potential right up until the pins of the appliance become disengaged from the receptacle If you have ever noticed a three blade plug, the ground pin is longer that the hot and neutral blades. What this accomplishes is that when plugging in a device the ground is made first and when un-plugging the ground is the last to be disconnected. By holding the appliance you were at the same ground potential as the appliance. By touching the "hot" side of the plug when pulling it out you became the return path for the electricity to flow. If you had touched the neutral side of the plug when pulling it out you would have felt nothing. Be careful when removing plugs from receptacles. Always pull on the plug body and never on the appliance's cord
How do you know an overloading is likely to happen?
When many electric appliance are connected to the mains socket,and are turned on at the same time,the electric circuit may be overloaded and produce a large amount of heat,then an electrical fire is easily occure.

depends on the appliance and how much watts it need. i would assume alot of energy though. but even more energy if yolu unplug the appliance
What type of electric energy turns a turnbine?
The turbine is turned by steam and is connected to a generator
What does power x time mean?
Power = energy / time Energy = power x time If you operate an electrical appliance for a while, then the amount of energy it used is (power it uses when it's turned on) times (length of time it's turned on). (power) x (time) is the amount of energy used. That's what you're billed for, and what you pay your local utility. Turn on a 1-KW appliance, and run it for 1 hour, it uses 1 kilowatt-hour of energy, and that's what you'll pay for.
What energy transformation does an electrical appliance carry out?
"Electrical appliance" is a very general term - there are electrical appliances that do very different things. In general, the electrical appliance converts the electrical energy into another form, depending on the appliance's purpose: a television produces light and sound energy, a mixer produces mechanical energy, a heater or shower head produces heat energy. All appliances will also produce some waste energy."Electrical appliance" is a very general term - there are electrical appliances that do very different things.

Plug a lamp into an electrical socket and you turn electrical energy into this form of energy?
-- None at all if the lamp is switched off.-- If the lamp is switched on, then electrical energy is turned into a little bit ofvisible light energy and a comparatively larger quantity of heat energy.
