Best Answer

The small part of the energy in radio waves that is captured by the antenna

of the receiver becomes electrical energy, in the form of a minuscule current

flowing down into the receiver. It controls much larger currents in the receiver,

and some of those are eventually converted to sound waves when they reach

the speaker or ear buds.

How can you transform energy from one type to another like radio to electric?

Each type of energy conversion should be investigated separately. The example you mention - converting radio waves to electrical energy - works as follows: The electromagnetic wave (the radio wave) arrives at an antenna as an alternating electrical and magnetic field - so this will quite naturally induce an electrical current (alternating current).
