It doesn't. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Electricity drives the rotor which has inclined blades these move the air.
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.
...is to change electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Into electrical energy.
Motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to perform work, such as driving a fan or moving a vehicle. Generators, on the other hand, convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy
A hydro-electric power station transforms energy by capturing the kinetic energy of moving water (from a river or dam) and converting it into mechanical energy using turbines. The turbines then turn generators, which produce electricity through electromagnetic induction, where mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
A generator is the device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This process involves moving a conductor through a magnetic field to induce an electrical current. Generators are commonly used in power plants to produce electricity.
Wind energy is converted into mechanical energy when the wind turns the blades of the windmill. The mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy through a generator connected to the wind turbine.
In a moving Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, energy transformation occurs as electricity from overhead power lines is converted into kinetic energy in the form of movement by the train. The process involves the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy to propel the train forward along the tracks.
Any device or process that needs batteries or that needs to be "plugged in" to move is an example of electrical energy being converted into mechanical energy. Some examples: - Starting a car - Running a washer/dryer - A moving fan - Playing a record or CD
Three electrical appliances that convert electrical energy are: Electric heater - converts electrical energy into heat energy Light bulb - converts electrical energy into light energy Electric fan - converts electrical energy into mechanical energy for moving air
Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a battery-operated clock. The battery provides electrical energy to drive the clock mechanism, which in turn uses mechanical energy to move the hands.
