What form of energy does a motor transfer?
Electrical to mechanical
What electrical energy is converted to another form of energy?
The electrical energy supplied to an electric motor
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.
Is it true that every time energy changes form some of it is given off as unusable?
In almost all energy conversions, a portion of the energy is wasted. Always remember that energy is never lost but is converted to a form that is of no use in the application. For example, an electric motor uses electrical energy to rotate but a portion of the electrical energy is converted to heat - it's wasted because heat doesn't help the motor to rotate but it's still a form of energy. A different example, that of a car engine. Energy that is released by the chemical reaction of burning gas is used to move the car forward. A significant amount of the energy is changed to heat. That is obvious when you feel the engine getting warm as it runs. The heat is mostly unusable so it is wasted. In most energy conversions, a proportion if the energy turns to heat so rarely is there a conversion that is 100% efficient. An exception is an electric heater. In this case, all the electrical energy that is delivered to the heater is turned into heat. What would be wasted energy in other applications is all useful so it can be considered to be 100% efficient.
Where is the potential energy present before the tornado occurs?
The energy is stored in the air as thermal energy. A supercell thunderstorm turns that into kinetic energy in the form of rotating wind. Under the right conditions that rotation can form a tornado.
What form of energy does a motor produce?
Mechanical energy
What form of energy does running a motor produced?
Mechanical energy
What type of energy is a motor?
A motor can be used to produce both types of energy, kinetic and potential. It is not in itself a form of energy. It can produce kinetic energy by driving the wheels of a car, or it can produce potential energy by charging the battery in the same car. These are only two of a myriad of examples.Depends on the type of motor. An electric motor converts electrical energy to magnetic energy to mechanical energy. A combustion engine- like a car, converts chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy.
How does the form of energy change in a motor?

What converts Electrical energy to another usable form?
The best example is an electric motor which turns and creates mechanical energy. Think about all the places electric motors are used like washers, dryers, vacuums, etc.
What energy transformation takes place in a motor?
The word motor is used sometimes to refer to electrical motors or to internal combustion engines. In an internal combustion engine, like the engine in an automobile, the gasoline is a source of chemical energy. When the car is moving it has kinetic energy. One see then an example of the transformation of chemical to kinetic energy. If the car is driving up a hill, then there is an increase in potential energy due to the action of the motor's transformation of the chemical energy. In the process, the chemical energy is released in combustion in the cylinders. Combustion creates heat energy, so the chemical energy has been transformed into heat energy. It is the heat energy that is then transformed into kinetic energy or potential energy. In an electrical motor, the input energy is electrical. The electrical forces created inside the motor do some work to make the motor turn. If the motor turns freely, then it has only kinetic energy and the electrical energy has been converted to the kinetic energy of the rotating motor. If the motor serves to apply force (or torque) to some ofther device, then the motor is doing work and transforming its input electrical energy into some other form of energy that depends on what work the motor does. (If the motor drives a car then it transforms to kinetic energy or if it lifts a weight it transforms into potential energy.) Note that in both cases, the motor is not 100% efficient in doing work and converting energy so some heat energy must be produced in both instances. Note also that the motor may be said to produce mechanical energy which is a little vague and only means energy transformation that is seen as motion and not specifically kinetic or potential.
What form of energy does a motor transfer?
Electrical to mechanical
What form of energy does running motor produce?
electrical
What is the energy stored in elastic materials?
It is a form of potential energy. It turns in Kinetic energy (the energy of movement) when the elastic is released.
What electrical energy is converted to another form of energy?
The electrical energy supplied to an electric motor
What form of energy does a electric tooth brush use?
Electrical energy, converted to mechanical energy by an electric motor.
What is the function of engine?
Assuming you are refereeing to a physical engine not one of the software variety. Its to propel motor vehicles. Next time Phrase your question better and then you will get a better anwser.
