What type does an electric motor transfer?

If you mean energy it turns electrical energy into kinetic energy


When you turn on a fan electrical energy changes into?

The electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat. The kinetic energy is first seen in the blades of the fan as they rotate. This kinetic energy is converted to air movement, another form of kinetic energy. The electrical energy isn't fully converted to kinetic energy but turns into heat. This is generated by the magnetic fields of the motor and friction. Both of these are considered to be losses of energy but in fact they are simply a conversion to a form of energy that is not of use.


What powers a wind turbine?

The wind turbine converts kinetic energy into wind, which then turns into wind and then mechanical energy. The energy is converted to an electrical generator through a shaft which turns it into electrical energy, or in other words, electricity.


What energy conversion happens in an fan?

fan converts electric energy into magnetic and further mechanical energy


How does wind energy help wind turbines work?

Wind blows on a windmill or wind turbine and makes it rotate. This can be looked at the kinetic energy in the moving air being converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes. The rotating turbine turns a shaft that turns (through gears) a electrical generator. The generator produces electricity. This can be seen as the kinetic energy of the rotating vanes transferred to the kinetic energy of the generator, which converts it to electrical power. The electrical power is then sent into the electric grid.

When you turn on a fan what does electrical energy turns into?

It turns into mechanical energy-a mass of air is being pushed through the fan so the air molecules are being given kinetic energy (I'm saying mechanical energy includes kinetic energy)

What energy transformation occurs when gasoline is burn?

The mechanical energy from the engine (with help from electrical energy from the battery), turns the potiential energy of gasoline/petrol into kinetic energy.


What energy is produced from falling water?

when the water is flowing over the the dam with high velocity, it acquires great kinetic energy, when this water is used to turn the turbines, this kinetic energy will be converted into electrical energy. so, when the water flows over the dam, hydroelectricity is produced.
