How can electrical appliance changes electrical energy to other forms of energy?

The details really depend on the electric appliance. Some common examples include:Converting electrical energy to heat, in a resistance. This may happen in a heater, for example.Using an electric motor to move things - for example in a fan, a mixer, and other appliances that involve movement.Other types of appliances generate light by exciting atoms (as in a fluorescent light bulb or a LED), or sound, as in speakers.


What are 3 household items that change electrical energy into heat energy?

radiator toaster microwave there's 3 random ones !


What is the energy in a blow dryer?

It uses Heat energy. Mechanical energy. And most of all, electrical energy.


What does it mean when you say that energy is lost in a resistor?

When we say that energy is lost in a resistor, it really means that electrical energy has bee transformed into other forms of energy. These other forms of energy do not easily get changed back into electrical energy.


How is sound energy transformed from electric energy to sound energy in a radio?

">Sound energy is transmitted on a frequency, the information is then sent out or an certain frequency, it really isn't transformed from electric energy to sound energy it is just transported via a radio wave or a set frequency from an emanation tower then received and played using electrical energy. If that didn't help sorry, but go read up on energy, frequency, wavelength, and the difference.... Google it, it'll help a lot more than i tried to do. or just go take some classes in college about physics and stuff. It's quite interesting.

What energy do lamps let in?

I assume you mean the energy they use. It really depends on the type of lamps. Often, electrical energy is used. A candle, as well as a lamp with a wick, uses the chemical energy in whatever fuel it uses (for example, the wax, in the case of a candle).

Am i wasting electric by keeping the tv on when I'm sleep?

really.......... because u have no need to keep tv on while @ sleep.... it'll waste alot of electrical energy.... energy is precious... dont waste it

What are the energy changes in television?

really????? in the case of mains AC power, 1) power is (internally) converted to DC, in order to power the electronics --- still electrical energy. 2) an input signal is decoded and transformed into a/v signals --- still electrical in nature.???


Electric bulb gets very hot as compared to energy saver.why is it so?

A normal lightbulb wastes a lot of energy. What this really means is that electrical energy gets converted to heat. For most purposes, this can be considered useless energy - although in a few applications, this is actually desired.

How heat produced during energy transformation?

Usually some of the energy is converted to heat, meaning it's wasted (for example in a lightbulb, the energy converted to heat is NOT converted to light). The details on HOW this happens really depend on the specific energy transformation. As an example, when there is an electric current, some of the moving electrons (or other charge carriers) bump into atoms; this takes away from the electron's kinetic energy (which is basically the electrical energy), and makes the atom move faster (heating the material up). In other energy transformations, the "how" may be quite different.
