Is that light energy or heat energy of solar energy is converted into the electric energy?
A photocell converts light energy (radiant electromagnetic energy to be precise) into electrical energy. A thermocouple can convert heat into electrical energy. The radiant em conversion yields much more energy than a heat conversion.
What type of energy does thermocouple absorb?
Thermal energy.
A device that can convert thermal energy into electrical energy?
a Thermocouple
What device can convert thermal energy into electrical energy?
Thermocouple
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What device is used to transform thermal energy to electric energy?
A thermocouple does this, but a turbine does also.
What are three types of energy that electrical energy can be converted into?
Mechanical energy (a rotating generator), thermal energy (a thermocouple), chemical energy (a fuel cell)
What device convert heat energy into electrical energy?
It is a thermocouple that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through what is called the thermoelectric effect.
How do you convert heat energy into electricity without using water sources?
Use a thermocouple.
A comparison of amount of energy before a conversion with the amount of useful energy after a conversion?
Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy. In no case can it be more.Usually, the amount of useful energy after a conversion will be less than the original energy.
