What else can I help you with?
How can you transform energy from one type to another like radio to electric?
Each type of energy conversion should be investigated separately. The example you mention - converting radio waves to electrical energy - works as follows: The electromagnetic wave (the radio wave) arrives at an antenna as an alternating electrical and magnetic field - so this will quite naturally induce an electrical current (alternating current).
What is the type of energy carried by an electromagnetic wave?
both electric and magnetic energy
What is the purpose of a capacitor in a circuit?
To store energy, in an electric field between separated charges. (An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field surrounding a current.)
How are coil in a motor and the coil in an electromagnet the same?
All (electrical) coils are the same, in that they are coils. All coils honor the same principles: investing electrical energy into a coil results in a magnetic field. Investing magnetic energy into a coil results in an electric current. But, different coils serve different purposes. For example, a coil in an electromagnet is used to magnify the magnetic field surrounding a wire that carries an electric current. This is typically aided by supplying a core made from a a ferromagnetic material; that is, a material which offers very little resistance to magnetism. In an electromagnet, the coil and its core is typically stationary (even though the entire contraption might move, as is the case with a crane at the scrapyard). Therefore, the coil in an electromagnet converts electrical energy into magnetic energy. The reversal of this process converts magnetic energy into electric energy, through a process known as induction. This is the case in dynamos, electric generators, and also in some electric motors. Some machines make use only of the conversion from electric to magnetic energy, as is the case with the electro magnet. This group includes some forms of electric motors and generators. Some machines make use only of the conversion from magnetic to electric energy, as is the case in the coil used to provide the ignition spark used with combustion engines. Some machines make use of both effects. This includes transformers, and many forms of electric generators and motors. For example, a stationary coil in an electric motor might supply a magnetic field which acts on the rotor. If the field in the stationary magnet itself rotates, as is for example the case with 3-phase electric power systems, this rotating magnetic field induces an electric current in the rotor. The rotor could itself be a coil, which in response to this induced current creates a magnetic field, pulled around by the rotating field of the stationary part. (This is in fact the principle behind the most common electrical motor, the short-circuit motor) Further uses of coils include that of (transient) energy storage: an electric current can build a magnetic field. When the current changes, the magnetic field also changes, and thus induces an electric current. This form of coils is frequently used in electronics to create filters; devices that suppress or select electric current according to its frequency. For example, your HiFi's loudspeakers contain a filter device that divides the electric signal from your amplifier into the higher frequency portions fit for your tweeter, and the lower frequency portions fit for your bass speaker.
How does an electric generator work?
Converts mechanical energy into electricity. Movement of magnetic field across a conductor will cause electron flow. The windings of a generator are rotated within a magnetic field.
What is the source of electromagnetic wave?
Electromagnetic waves come from accelerating electric charges, often electrons in atoms. The energy given off travels in a wave that is partly electric and partly magnetic.
What is the nature of the energy that light possesses?
Light possesses electromagnetic energy, which is a form of energy that travels in waves and consists of electric and magnetic fields.
What is light... a wave of vibrating electric and magnetic energy a wave that travels by compressions a wave that travels by rarefactions or a state of matter?
Light is a wave of vibrating electric and magnetic energy that travels through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It does not travel by compressions or rarefactions as sound waves do. Light does not fall under the category of a state of matter.
What transfers energy in the form of vibrating electric and magnetic fields?
Electromagnetic radiation transfers energy in the form of vibrating electric and magnetic fields. This energy travels in the form of waves and includes various forms such as radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays.
Light energy travels in?
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium to propagate. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light.
Is electric and electro magnetic energy the same thing?
While electric energy refers to the flow of electric charge, electromagnetic energy encompasses both electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic waves. In essence, electric energy is a component of electromagnetic energy, alongside magnetic energy.
What is the importance of the alternating magnetic field?
to move things energy alternatively
How is energy transferred through electromagnetic waves?
Energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves by the movement of electric and magnetic fields. When an electromagnetic wave travels through space, it carries energy in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This energy can be absorbed by objects that interact with the wave, such as antennas or solar panels, converting it into usable forms of energy.
What does Electromagnetic energy travel in?
Electromagnetic energy travels in electromagnetic waves, which are composed of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other as they propagate through space at the speed of light.
As an electromagnetic wave travels its energy is carried through?
the oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These fields are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave's propagation. Energy is transferred as the fields interact with charged particles in the medium through which the wave is traveling.
What energy produces a magnetic field?
electric energy
What does light energy travel in?
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of travel.
