Can electrical energy converted into chemical energy?
electrical energy can be transformed into chemical energy. electricity can initiate a chemical reaction, it can change form of chemicals so that they could be again used to produce electricity. example- a rechargeable cell or battery uses same concept to store energy.
If energy and mass cannot be destryed than what happends to the electrons of used electrical energy and why is this used energy unable to be converted back to electrical energy?
The electrons in an electrical current are not used up by the current. They are simply moved. A simple way to think of the current is as a stream of water, except that in the current it is electrons that are flowing, not water molecules. When the energy in a water current is tapped - by a turbine, say - the water molecules are not destroyed, although the turbine obtains energy.In principle used ("converted" would be better) electrical energy could be changed back into electrical energy, except that some of it will be forever lost as heat. This energy has not been destroyed, merely converted into a form where it can do no useful work. This is an inevitable consequence of the second law of thermodynamics, which applies to all energy conversions, not just electrical ones.
What is the opposite of resistance?
The opposite of resistance (opposition) could be cooperation, or acquiescence, or surrender. The opposite of resistance (electrical) could be conductance.
Can electricity be converted into Energy?
Electric energy can be converted into many things, all of them are other forms of energy. Electric energy can be converted into heat energy, like in many stoves and ovens. Electric energy can be converted into sound energy, which happens in speakers. Electric energy can be converted into mechanical energy, like with electric motors in fans and other devices. Electric energy can be converted into light energy as with a light bulb. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the technology to turn energy forms into matter as is shown in many sci-fi shows like Star Trek's replicators. Every energy is able to change its type. For example sound energy can be converted into electrical , light, heat and in many other forms.
Input and output energies of a hairdryer?
Really a physics question which could go on for pages to be explained properly by someone in the know. To the layman it is Electron flow in the heating wire (electrical resistance) causing a collision at the atomic level producing radiant heat.
How does mechanical energy convert to light energy?
One method which this could happen is you have mechanical energy, lets say you riding a bike, and attach a turbine to it which converts your mechanical energy into electrical energy. You then plug a light bulb into that, and the electric energy is converted into light.
How do waves transport energy?
A wave in the ocean, or any body of water, is created by some form of energy and contains that energy in the form of moving water. An object that would float on top of the water could be connected to a generating source in such a way as to provide resistance to that wave. If the material stays floating, energy will be absorbed from the moving wave and into the rising object. The resistance could be converted into useable forms of energy. Large waves could provide a fair amount of power by absorbing this wave energy.
How could you change sound energy into electrical energy?
With a microphone
What is meant by lost energy in relation to light bulbs?
It means that only part of the electrical energy used up gets converted into useful light; another part of the energy gets converted into other types of energy, mainly heat. If this energy waste could be avoided (so that the light bulb produces only light, and no heat), then you would get the same result at a lower cost.
How could exercise be used to generate electricity?
Here mechanical energy converted to electrical energy . so u can design a machine so that upon exercising the machine rotates the magnet in a alternator thus generating electricity

Convert ohms to Fahrenheit?
"Ohm" is a unit of electrical resistance, whereas "Fahrenheit" is one of many scales widely used for the description of temperature. It is difficult to think of two units that could be any less alike in definition, dimensions, or application. In any case, the two units have different 'dimensions' and are used to measure different quantities. There is no way that either one of them can be converted into the other one.
