Anything device can transform electrical energy into other form of energy. This is called an electrical load.
thermal/heat energy
A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy. A device that regulates the temperature of a system. A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location. A machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
Generators transform energy into electrical energy. The output of the generator is the electric power it "makes". The input is whatever is used to create mechanical energy to turn the "prime mover", or the thing that makes the generator spin (be it steam / thermal energy, water, wind, etc.).
Mechanical energy (a rotating generator), thermal energy (a thermocouple), chemical energy (a fuel cell)
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
A thermoelectric generator is typically used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy. It operates based on the Seebeck effect, where temperature differences between two semiconductor materials generate an electric current.
a Thermocouple
Thermocouple
A light bulb in an electrical circuit transforms electrical energy into light energy and thermal energy (heat).
You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.
Anything device can transform electrical energy into other form of energy. This is called an electrical load.
A toaster is one of many such devices.
thermal/heat energy
It is a thermocouple that converts thermal energy into electrical energy through what is called the thermoelectric effect.
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
Energy is stored in a device in various forms such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, or thermal energy. This stored energy can be transformed into different forms through processes like conversion, transmission, and utilization within the device, depending on its design and intended function. For example, in a battery, chemical energy is stored and then transformed into electrical energy when the battery is in use.
