When lighting a light bulb, it is changed into light and heat/thermal energy.


Which type of energy makes a light bulb feel warm?

It is thermal energy, which is also known as heat, which makes a light bulb feel warm.


Is a light bulb a mechanical energy?

No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.


What kind of energy makes the light bulb light up?

thermal energy of course. :}


What is an example of thermal energy to radiant energy?

light bulb, the sun.


What type energy does a light bulb produce?

light energy


What energy trasnformations occur in a incandescent light bulb?

In an incandescent light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy and then into light energy. When electricity flows through the filament of the bulb, it heats up and becomes white-hot, producing thermal energy. This thermal energy then causes the filament to glow and emit light energy.


Which type of energy conversion takes place when a light bulb is turned on. Electromagnetic into potential- Thermal to potential- potential to electric energy- electric to light?

The answer should be pretty obvious. Just try to think about this. What energy is used? What does the light-bulb produce? In this case, the light-bulb requires electricity, and it produces both heat and light, so electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy.


When energy runs through a light bulb what kind of energy does the light bulb produce?

A light bulb uses electrical energy, and produces light, as well as heat.


How much energy does a 5 watt light bulb produce?

None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.


What type of energy makes a light bulb glow?

An electric light bulb converts electrical energy into thermal energy which is in the form of radiated light and heat. For example, the " easy bake oven" uses a light bulb to cook the food.


A battery and a light bulb in a complete circuit changes electrical energy into what energy?

Light energy (EM visible radiation) plus thermal energy (through heating the bulb filament)
