What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?

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.


What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electric energy?

All forms of electricity generation start from heat - even wind and hydro-electric power are ultimately driven by heat from the sun. Most forms of generation include generation of steam and using that to drive a turbine however.


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.


The device that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is?

The device that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is an electric heater. It works by passing an electric current through a resistive element, which generates heat due to the resistance of the material. This heat is then transferred to the surrounding environment, raising the temperature of the space.


Does electical energy transform into other energies?

Yes, electrical energy can transform into other forms of energy through processes such as heating elements converting electricity to thermal energy, light bulbs transforming electricity into light energy, or electric motors changing electricity into mechanical energy.

What transform energy from one to another?

a transducer is a device used to transform energy and by the way this is physics not chemistry


What is device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?

Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.
