Are various energy forms interconvertible?
Yes, various forms of energy are interconvertible. Look at the following examples. Sound energy is converted into electrical energy in a microphone. Electrical energy is converted into sound energy in a loud speaker. Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy in a motor. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in a generator. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when a stone is dropped. Electrical energy is converted into heat energy in a room heater. Chemical energy is converted into sound, light and heat energy while firing crackers
What are the energy changes that take place when operating a flashlight?
chemical energy is converted to electrical energy via the process of corrosion of one of the metal plates in each batteryelectrical energy is converted to thermal energy via the tungsten resistance wire filament of the lightbullbthermal energy is converted to light by heating the filament of the lightbulb to incandescence
When you turn on a toaster what happens to the electrical energy?
The electrical energy gets transformed into electromagnetic (light) energy and thermal (heat) energy.
What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?
Inside a toaster, electrical energy is converted to heat (and a little bit of light) energy.
What is the energy transformation of megaphone?
Electrical energy gets converted to sound energy. When we speak into the speaker, our sound waves get converted into electrical signals. These signals get amplified and emitted as louder sound. Thus, electrical energy (electrical signals) gets converted into sound energy (amplified/louder sound).
What causes chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy?
a battery
What kind of energy could resistance in an electrical wire be converted to?
Thermal
Collisions of electrons with other particles in a circuit convert electrical energy or charge?
That will convert the electrical energy into heat energy. Charge is not converted to anything; charge is maintained. What you are describing is called "resistance".
What can electrical energy be converted?
Electrical energy can be converted to: 1. Heat energy 2. Light energy and many more

Which energy conversion occurs in a battery-power flashlight?
Chemical energy ===>electrical energy ===>(light energy) plus (heat energy)I think that the chemical potential energy in the battery is converted to electrical energy that flows into the high resistance filament in the lightbulb; which due to the above-mentioned resistance, begins to glow, releasing light energy and thermal energy.
How electric flat iron energy is transformed?
An electric iron has a heating element that offers electrical resistance. The resistance causes friction to occur in the electrons and causes a heating effect.

How are different forms of energy are related?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, they can all be transformed into from one form to another.For example, light energy from the sun is trapped by plants and converted to chemical energy.OR... electrical energy can be converted into sound and light energy as with a TV set... or with a fan, electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy which causes the blades to spin... etc.....
