Yes. Part of the energy is converted to light, part to heat. The percentage depends on the type of light bulb. Fluorescent and LED light bulbs are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs.

A 60-watt incandescent bulb will be uncomfortable to remove from the socket with your bare hands after turning it off. However, a 100-watt bulb will burn you if you remove it with your bare hands after turning it off.

In a photocell light energy is converted into?

In a photocell, light energy is converted into electrical energy. When light strikes the photocell surface, photons of light are absorbed, releasing electrons that create an electric current.


What changes electric energy into another form of energy?

An electric energy source can be converted into another form of energy, such as light, heat, or kinetic energy, through devices like light bulbs, heaters, or electric motors. These devices utilize the electrical energy to create different types of energy based on their design and purpose.


Is electric energy converted to heat energy or light energy?

Yes, electrical energy can be changed into thermal (heat) energy. Light is electromagnetic energy, and electricity can be changed into light energy. We know that a resistance heater changes electrical energy into thermal energy. An electric range does this, as does an electric space heater. We see electrical energy changed into light in fluorescent lights.


What device turns electric energy into heat light and motion energies?

An electric bulb, like an incandescent or LED bulb, can turn electric energy into heat and light energy. An electric motor can transform electric energy into motion energy.


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.
