How can you convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy?

We can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in mixer and grinder. We can convert electrical energy into sound energy in various sound systems. We can convert electrical energy into heat energy in electric water or room heater.


What is the energy transformation during the operation of a windmill electical to heat energy heat to chemical energy chemical to mechanical energy or mechanical to electrical energy?

A windmill (electric generating) converts mechanical energy to electrical energy which is transmitted and may be stored as chemical energy in a battery or used to produce other types of energy.


What does a motor convert?

A motor convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.


Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?

Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.


How does a dam transform mechanical energy from the motion of the water into electrical energy?

A dam does not transform mechanical energy from the motion of water into electrical energy. A turbine can convert the kinetic energy of moving water, coming from a dam, a river, or anywhere, into mechanical energy, which a generator then takes to convert that into electrical energy.
