What happens to the energy when you turn on an electric lamp?
Electricity flows through the filament, resistance in the filament causes heat and light energy to be created.
An example of an electric discharge?
neon lamp, lightning, static electricity
When you turn on a lamp what energy does it convert to?
It goes from electric to light to heat .
What are two examples of heat energy transfers?
1. Ball Bouncing Bouncing a ball is movement which is kinetic energy. When the ball hits the ground there is "force" That pulls it back up… Which is called Potential energy. Kinetic>Potential 2. Door Bell A door bell is powered by Electricity and when you press it, it makes a loud noise. So that is Electric energy transferred into Sound energy. Electric>Sound 1. Electric outlet. An Electric outlet powered a lot of stuff in my House. One example I thought of was a lamp. The Electric goes in the light bulb in my lamp and then transfers into light energy Electric>Light energy 2. Windmill The windmill is powered by Wind energy… Which is then turned into Electric energy. Wind energy>Electric
How does electricity flow around a series circuit?
Imagine a series circuit consisting of a battery, a wire from its negative terminal to a lamp, and another wire from its positive terminal to the lamp. The electricity would flow from the battery's negative terminal to the lamp and then back to the positive terminal of the battery: it's always negative to positive. Scientists were not aware of this until long after electricity discovered. They thought electricity flows from positive to negative and this was accepted for a long time. When someone asks you to use conventional current, it means assume the current flows from positive to negative, which is the opposite of what happens in reality. The negative terminal (the technical name for this is cathode) of an electrical energy supply, such as a battery, releases electrons with energy in them. These electrons drift to the appliance (i.e. the lamp in this case). The lamp then uses the energy in the electrons to produce light and heat before letting the electrons out on the other side. These electrons have little or no energy but they would drift back to the battery to regain energy and the cycle continues until the battery is depleted of energy. The electrons leave the lamp at the speed at which they enter the lamp.

What happens to electricity when you turn on an elactric lamp?
you use up energy and it is turned into heat
What happens when a lamp plugged into an electric outlet is turned on?
the form of energy changes and the total of energy increases
When you plug a lamp in you access what kind of energy?
Electric Energy.
What source of energy used in lamp?
Electric
An example of an electric discharge?
neon lamp, lightning, static electricity
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
Light and heat energy.
When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?
Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.
When you turn on a lamp what energy does it convert to?
It goes from electric to light to heat .
When did electricity become common in homes?
Edison patented an electric distribution system in 1880, which was needed to capitalize on the invention of the electric lamp.
What is the Japanese word for Electric?
"Denki" is the word for Electricity. Many words use that or the prefix "den" to denote that something is electric (ie; dento: electric lamp)
What is a solar lamp?
Well, a Solar Lamp is a normal lamp but does not work with electricity or batteries - it uses the suns energy. So it charges during the day and then uses up that energy at night or in dark places
