Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy, by means of photosynthesis. The chemicals that they create can then be gradually transformed into petroleum, if they are buried in the ground for a long period of time.

What is the main useful energy change in a petrol engine?

The main useful energy change in a petrol engine is the conversion of chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy. During combustion, the chemical energy stored in petrol is transformed into heat energy, which then expands gases that drive the pistons. This mechanical energy ultimately powers the vehicle's movement. Efficient energy conversion is crucial for optimal engine performance.

What is the energy change of a solar cell?

A solar cell converts sunlight into electricity through a photovoltaic process, capturing the energy of photons and generating an electrical current. The energy change in a solar cell involves the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy, typically measured in terms of efficiency (%) and power output (watts). The overall energy change is positive, as sunlight is converted into usable electrical power.
