load
load
An electric current flows from a power source, such as a battery or power outlet, through a conductive material, like a wire, to a device that uses the electrical energy, and then returns to the power source to complete the circuit. The pathway includes the source of electricity, conductive material, and the device that utilizes the energy.
A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy. A device that regulates the temperature of a system. A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location. A machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
A battery uses chemical energy to convert it into electrical energy, which then provides charges with electric potential energy. The chemical reactions inside the battery create a flow of electrons, generating an electric potential difference that can power various devices.
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to create movement.
A device in a circuit that uses electrical energy to work is called a load. Loads can take various forms, such as light bulbs, motors, heaters, or electronic devices, and they convert electrical energy into other forms of energy like light, motion, or heat.
The generic term for an electrical device that uses and converts electrical energy into other forms of energy would be an electric power converter or simply a converter.
The electric circuit has a current running through it.
An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to turn the blades of a blender. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to generate rotational motion.
A safety device that uses an electromagnet to shut off the circuit is called a contactor.
A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is called a generator. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce an electric current when a mechanical force, such as rotation, is applied to it.
A generator is a device that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to generate electricity when a conductor moves through a magnetic field.
