What type of energy was the initial energy convertedn into?
The initial energy was converted into various forms of energy depending on the system. It could have been converted into kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, or other forms such as electrical or chemical energy.
What happens when electrical energy is changed to thermal energy?
This heat is generally losses or it could be used mainly for:district heatingwater desalinationto warm water pools for breeding fish and/or any aquatic species.
A light bulb converts 10 percent of the electrical energy and thermal energy it uses into radiant energymake a hypothesys about the other form of energy produced?
A lightbulb usually won't use thermal energy, only electrical energy. By conservation of energy, if 10% of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the remainder is wasted - basically as heat.
A substance that builds up energy from electricity causing heat?
Any substance that has an electrical resistance will convert electrical energy to heat - in other words, most substances. The exception are superconductors. A device specifically designed to dissipate electrical energy is called a resistor or resistance.
Does gravitational potential energy converted to electrical energy occur in routine operation of a car?
That could happen in an electric or hybrid car, when the car is coasting down a hill, converting gravitational potential energy to the car's kinetic energy, and a touch of the brakes puts some of that kinetic energy into the batteries. But it's a stretch.
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.
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.
How could you trace the flow of energy in a hydroelectric plant?
In a hydroelectric plant, potential energy from the water stored in a reservoir is converted into kinetic energy as it flows through the turbines. The turbines are connected to generators which convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
What are the energy change for an electric fire?
The energy change for an electric fire involves the conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy and light energy. When electricity flows through the heating element of the electric fire, it encounters resistance, which causes the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is then radiated out as warmth and light energy, providing both heat and illumination in the surrounding area.
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.
Describe how you convert various types of energy into electrical energy?
Electrical energy could be produced from so many energy. Solar energy. This would help some voltaic cells to produce some potential difference which in turn would drive current when it is connected to an external device. Chemical energy. As we use cells, there chemical energy with its tendency such oxidising etc would create an emf between the terminals of the cell. Hence current flows as we connect the terminals to a device. Magnetic energy. Using magnetic energy and mechanical energy emf is produced as the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes. This is known as phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. Once again using thermal energy, by maintaining the junctions of thermocouples at two different temperatures, thermo emf will be produced.
How can you tell there is friction and resistance in a bulb?
Electrical resistance is technically not the same as friction though one could be used as a model for the other. Electrical resistance in a light bulb can be seen by the light that is emitted due to the heating of the filament when current is passed through it (electrical potential is transformed into heat).
