How are microwaves magnetic?
Inside a microwave oven,microwaves are made when electricity passes through a device called Magnetron.Magnetron uses a strong magnet. The electricity and the magnet make microwave electromagnetic.
How is hydroelectric energy converted to electricity?
in an hydrolectric plant there are turbines in the bottom then the water is made to fall from a great height which causes the turbine to rotate and producing electricity in same way as done in rotating dynamo
What energy does a computer transfer?
The energy used to power a computer is Electrical Energy.
Can you drill into concrete beams?
better try to avoid drilling on concrete beams......!!
How can pistons that move up and down generate electricity?
The reciprocating motion of the pistons is converted into rotary motion which is connected to a shaft connected to an electrical generator .
What does a microwave convert electrical energy into?
Electricity is converted into the electromagnetic wave called a microwave.
How much electricity does a microwave give off?
A microwave does not give off electricity.
When a microwave oven timer beeps to what kind of energy has electricity been changed into?
The electromagnetic energy (electricity) the oven operates on is being converted into mechanical (sound) energy when the timer beeps.
What are the energy conversions that occur in a microwave?
Electricity is converted (using a magnetron) to microwaves, these are transmitted as standing waves into the chamber, in which you put your food. It's designed so that the energy will be contained inside the microwave. These cause the water molecules in the food to vibrate faster, which is how the temperature is raised.
What is the wireless transmission medium that carries data via beams of light through the air?
microwave
How many volts of electricity does a microwave have?
It has 1000 watts
What energy transfers generate electricity in the dam's staction?
The water's potential energy is converted into mechanical energy (movement); this is then converted to electricity.
Which sequence of energy transformations occurs after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?
Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).Chemical energy from the battery gets converted to electricity; in the light-bulb, assuming the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulbs, the electricity gets converted to heat, and the heat gets converted to light (part of it; a significant part gets converted to useless heat).
Is using a microwave more conservative on electricity than a stove?
By a long distance, using a microwave is more conservative on electricity than by using resistive heating that a stove utilizes.
How does nuclear energy power a device?
Typically the nuclear energy is converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device. No much differently than the chemical energy in fossil fuels is often converted to electricity and the electricity powers the device.
What kind of energy makes a microwave work?
The input energy is electricity. The output energy (what does the cooking), is microwave radiation.
When Turning on a light what energy is converted?
ELECTRICITY
