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 light bulb converts 10 percent of the electrical energy and thermal energy it uses into radiant energymake a hypothesys about the other form of energy produced?

A lightbulb usually won't use thermal energy, only electrical energy. By conservation of energy, if 10% of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the remainder is wasted - basically as heat.


What forms of energy does lightning produce?

Lightning produces thermal energy as a result of the high temperatures generated during the electrical discharge. It also creates sound energy in the form of thunder as a result of the rapid expansion and contraction of air. Additionally, lightning can produce light energy in the form of visible light as it ionizes the air particles along its path.


Does a telephone convert energy?

Yes, a telephone converts electrical energy into sound energy in the form of vibrations that travel through the air. These vibrations are then converted back into electrical signals by the receiving phone, allowing for communication between two parties.


What is the energy form of falling rocks from the top of a mountain?

The energy form of falling rocks from the top of a mountain is primarily gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the rocks fall. This kinetic energy increases as the rocks accelerate due to gravity pulling them downward.

Describe the way energy changes form when an electric light is turned on?

When an electric light is turned on, electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb, causing it to emit light. Some of the electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to the resistance within the light bulb.

How do you describe the changes in energy in a light bulb?

When a light bulb is turned on, electrical energy is transformed into light (radiant) energy and heat energy. This conversion process results in changes in energy form but the total energy remains constant, following the law of conservation of energy.


Which part of a circuit changes electrical energy into another form of energy?

A resistor or a component like a light bulb or a motor changes electrical energy into another form of energy, such as heat, light, or mechanical motion.


What are two ways that energy changes form in a can?

Energy changes form in a can when electrical energy powers the refrigerator that cools the can, converting electrical energy to thermal energy. Additionally, when the can is dropped, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it falls.


What form of energy are represented by x when an electric fan is turned on?

The form of energy represented by x when an electric fan is turned on is electrical energy. This is the energy that powers the fan and is converted into mechanical energy, which allows the fan blades to rotate and create airflow.

What form of energy is stored in a flashlight?

Chemical energy is stored in a flashlight in the form of batteries. When the flashlight is turned on, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which powers the light bulb.


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.


How energy can change?

It changes from one form into another routinely. Electrical energy changes into mechanical energy (and heat) in an electric motor. Light energy changes into electrical energy (and heat) in a solar cell. Chemical energy (in coal for example) is changed into heat energy (when the coal is burned) which can raise steam under pressure to drive a turbine, converting most of the the heat energy to mechanical energy, which then drives a generator to convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but changes from one form to another.
