No a light bulb does not use chemical energy. Even though it uses the chemical Mercury to create light. Hope this helps =)

Does a flashlight change from chemical energy to light energy?

Yes, a flashlight changes stored chemical energy into light energy when the battery powers the light bulb. The chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy, which then powers the light bulb's filament to produce light.


A dry cell is used in a flashlight to convert what to light?

Chemical energy into light energy more specifically i.e. dry cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy flashlight converts electrical energy into light energy


Is a torch powered by chemical and light energy?

Yes, a torch is usually powered by both chemical and light energy. The chemical energy is stored in the batteries or fuel used to create the light, while the light energy is produced when the chemical energy is converted into light through a reaction in the bulb or LED.


How is chemical energy converted into light energy?

As a chemist I can tell you that you have witnessed chemical energy being converted to light energy everytime you see a light bulb powered by a battery. The energy in the battery is stored as chemical energy, which is released by electrons leaving chemicals and flowing through the filament in the light bulb. As the electrons flow through the filament, they release some of their energy in the form of light. That is a rather simplified explanation, but if you want more detail, you better learn some indepth chemistry and physics first.


What energy changes take place when you use it?

When you use energy, it undergoes a conversion from one form to another. For example, when you burn gasoline in a car engine, chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy to move the vehicle. Similarly, in a light bulb, electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy when the bulb is turned on.

What energy changes take place when a battery is connected to a bulb?

When a battery is connected to a bulb, chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy, which flows through the circuit and into the bulb. The electrical energy is then converted into light and heat energy by the filament in the bulb, allowing the bulb to light up.
