The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.
