It isn't, it's only used up. Chemical energy from the batteries gets turned into light and a little heat.

What energy transformation takes place in a flashlight?

Battery (chemical energy) goes to the wires (electrical energy) which goes to the light bulb (thermal and electromagnetic energy. In the bulb of a traditional flashlight, electric current energy is transformed to heat and then partially to light, when the temperature of the filament in the bulb is sufficient. In an LED type flashlight, little heat is produced and more of the electrical current energy is transformed into light.


What is the energy transformathion in a flashlight?

A flashlight can transform electric energy to light energy and heat energy.


How energy is transformed light from flashlight?

Battery electric energy is converted to light energy of flashlight.


Does a light switch change chemical energy directly in to light energy or does a flashlight?

The flashlight does.


How are electromagnetic waves used in a flashlight?

What are the Examples of energy transformation from electrical energy to radian energy?

flashlight: the battery in the flashlight transforms it's chemical stored Energy into electrical Energy which is then transformed into radiant energy because of the light the flashlight gives off.


Is a battery operated flashlight an example of thermal or electrical energy?

Clearly the bulb itself operates on electrical energy, but this is produced by the battery from chemical energy. I don't see any connection with thermal.


How does energy from flashlight batteries compare to the light and heat the flashlight gives off?

This depends entirely on the efficiency of the lamp. Tungsten lamps tend to give off more heat than light, whereas LED technology give off more light than heat. By the laws of thermodynamics the sum of the energy that comes out of the system must equal the sum of the energy that goes into the system. So: Energy in batteries = Total light energy produced + Total heat energy produced The efficiency therefore becomes the ratio between produced light energy and heat energy.


What kind of energy a flashlight has?

The popular energy of flashlight are Rechargeable Li-on battery, Alkaline battery.


When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?

The electric energy will be transfered to light energy and heat energy once flashlight turn on.


Is a flashlight battery auto potential or kinetic?

The actual process of flicking the switch of the flashlight is kinetic energy, as there is movement involved. However, when the flashlight is now turned on, it will be producing light energy.


What type of energy change takes place in a flashlight?
