When the flashlight is turned on electrical energy is is changed to which type of energy?

light and heat bitter one


When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?

The electric energy will be transfered to light energy and heat energy once flashlight turn on.


What are the energy input an outputs of a flashlight?

Inputs-battery/electrical energy-this powers the light so it turns on. Without it, the flashlight will not work. -light bulb/light energy-this makes the shine work and produces the light. Without it, there would be no light from the flashlight -the on/off button/electrical circuit-this turns the system on and off. It allows the circuit to be opened and closed and prohibits the battery from running out. Without it, the flashlight would be on all of the time and the battery would run out. -casing-this protects the battery and the light from water damage or other damage. Without it, the flashlight could be damaged, it would be harder to use, and the person using the flashlight might get an electrical shock. Outputs-light/light energy


Are you saying that chemical energy to electrical engery to radiant engery is what takes place when a flashlight is turned on?

I didn't say that... But that is basically a correct description of the energy transformations. Part of the energy also gets wasted, into heat energy (different parts of an electrical circuit have resistance), and infrared radiation, i.e., non-visible light.


When a flashlight is turned on when does energy conversion take place?

The stored chemical energy in the battery is transfered into light energy and heat.

Which type of energy transfer occurs when a battery flashlight is turned on?

electrical energy


What type of energy change takes place in a flashlight?

potineal energy is taken place in a flashlight then is turned into termal and electrical energy


When the flashlight is turned on what energy changes?

A standard flashlight with an incandecent bulb converts electrical energy into two different types of energy; light energy and heat energy.


Is a flashlight battery auto potential or kinetic?

The actual process of flicking the switch of the flashlight is kinetic energy, as there is movement involved. However, when the flashlight is now turned on, it will be producing light energy.


What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur after a battery-operated flashlight is turned on?

science quiz+the answer is chemical - electrical - light


Is any energy lost or gained when a flashlight is turned on?

Some energy is changed to heat and lost. The main energy is still be converted to light beam.


When a flashlight is turned on where does the energy transformation takes places?

What happens when energy stored in a flashlight battery is used up?

The flashlight can not be turned on as it no power now.


Which sequence of energy transformations occur after a battery operated flashlight is turned on?

DC (Direct Current) electricity is the only kind which can be stored. For this reason, it is what you get from all batteries. Flashlight batteries usually output that electricity at 1.5 volts when they are new.
