It depends on the type of clock. A mechanical clock converts potential energy to kinetic energy. The energy is wound up in the spring and is released through the escape mechanism and gears.

In a motorized clock, electricity is converted to magnetism and then motion.


In a digital clock, electricity is converted to light and the electricity is also used to power the logic circuitry needed to put the correct time on the display.

What is the energy conversion that takes place in an alarm clock when it rings?

In an alarm clock, electrical energy from the batteries or power source is converted into sound energy when the alarm rings. The electrical energy powers the mechanisms inside the clock to produce vibrations that create the sound waves we hear as the alarm.


What energy transformation takes place using a alarm clock?

In an alarm clock, electrical energy from the battery or power outlet is transformed into mechanical energy to move the clock hands or generate sound energy for the alarm.


What energy transformation takes place in a digital clock?

In a digital clock, electrical energy is transformed into light energy when the LED or LCD display lights up to show the time. The electrical energy powers the circuitry of the clock which then activates the display to emit light.


What energy changes are taking place in a toaster?

heat energy


What energy transformation takes place in a mechanical clock?

In a mechanical clock, the potential energy stored in the wound-up spring is transformed into kinetic energy as the spring unwinds and powers the clock's movement. This kinetic energy is then converted into rotational and oscillatory motion to keep the gears and hands of the clock moving accurately.

What are he cHANGES THAT PLACE INSIDE THE MATTER DURING THE CHANGE OF STATE?

The thing that changes during a change of state is the intermolecular forces are disrupted. The temperature will not change because all of the energy is going into disrupting or organizing the intermolecular forces.

Is changes in energy a chemical change?

Changes in energy themselves are not considered chemical changes. Instead, changes in energy may occur as a result of a chemical change taking place, such as in an exothermic or endothermic reaction where energy is either released or absorbed.
