The Chevy Volt uses gas to power an electric motor.
You can convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
It converts electric energy to thermal energy
The rate of energy transfer - any type of energy transfer, including this specific case - is called the power. The SI unit is the watt, which is equal to joules/second.
It means to convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
It means to convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
Electric energy can be changed into other forms of energy by devices such as electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy; light bulbs, which convert electrical energy into light and heat energy; and electric heaters, which convert electrical energy into thermal energy.
You can convert almost any type of energy into almost any other type of energy.
Electric Energy can be converted into many different forms of energy. The most common type of energy electricity is converted into is light energy - as with a light bulb. Another form of energy electricity can be converted into would be kinetic (motion) energy.
You can convert it to practically any other type of energy.
Heat. In fact you can convert part of the heat into other types of energy, only if there is a heat difference between two objects - but you can never convert all heat into other types of energy.
An erg is an old-fashioned unit for energy (from the cgs system). Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but you can convert one type of energy into another type.
