Best Answer

if the energy in your wall socket comes from a hydro-electric plant, then that energy came the the rotational energy (i.e. momentum, or kinetic energy) of the generator, the energy to turn the turbine that turns the generator comes from the potential energy of the water. that is to say it takes energy to lift water, so that means energy is given up when water falls, if we make that water fall onto turbine blades we can harness some of that energy in the way outlined above. And this is where the sun comes into play... the sun provides the initial energy (in the form of heat and radiation) that lifts the water (by evaporation) against the pull of gravity so that we may retrieve that energy when the water finally precipitates to the ground and seeks the low altitude of sea level.

What is the definition for energy transformation?

You keep on having energy but under another form. For instance, the light energy that you get from the sun, you may convert it into electricity by using photovoltaic cells or equivalent. Now, you haven't the heat from the sunlight, but you can use the generated electricity to produce heat again. You can transform energy on a direct way or the transformation shall follow some steps. Transformation of energy means that you can obtain determined kinds of energy which fits better for your purposes.
