Turning on a lamp


What are the energy transformation in a lamp?

chemical - electrical - light - heat


Plug a lamp into an electrical socket and you turn electrical energy into this form of energy?

-- None at all if the lamp is switched off.-- If the lamp is switched on, then electrical energy is turned into a little bit ofvisible light energy and a comparatively larger quantity of heat energy.


A lamp turns into what kind of energy?

A typical lamp would convert electrical energy into light energy. And lots of heat too.


What is the energy converted into heat and light in a lamp?

Primarily electrical energy. some chemical, from the coating on the inner side of the lamp


When a lamp is turned on electrical energy changes into what form of energy?

The older generation of bulb(one in witch heating metal coil was used) convert electrical energy into both heat and light energy and consume more energy as some energy is lost as a heat energy. The newer generation of electrical bulb (C.F.L.) convert almost all electrical energy into light energy and consume much less electrical energy.


A lamp transforms electrical energy into what?

Mostly heat, but that heat causes a filament to glow, which makes light.


What kind of a device can transform electrical energy into light and heat and sound?

A neon lamp.

What device converts electromagnetic radition into heat energy?

Heat Lamp. Is a lamp that shines heat energy ( electromagnetic Energy) into the form of heat.


What happens when a lamp plugged into an electric outlet is turned on?

the form of energy changes and the total of energy increases


How is electrical energy recovered?

In short, by connecting electricity to a 'load', you are converting it to another type of energy. Some examples: Motor-electrical energy to mechanical energy (with heat byproduct) Lamp-electrical energy to light energy (with heat byproduct) Heater coil-electrical energy to heat energy (with light byproduct) Speaker-electrical energy to sound energy (with heat byproduct) The list goes on. Notice that most changes produce heat, even when they are not the intended target energy. This is because nothing is perfectly efficient, and some energy is lost as heat in the conversion process.
