What happens to energy from electricity when you turn on an electric lamp?

When you turn on an electric lamp, the electricity flows through the lamp's circuit, causing the bulb's filament to heat up and emit light. The electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy.


When you turn on a lamp electric energy changes to what kind of energy?

When you turn on a lamp, electric energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electric current flowing through the lamp's filament generates heat, which in turn produces light.


When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?

Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.

When you turn on a lamp what energy does it convert to?

When you turn on a lamp, electrical energy from the power source is converted into light energy and heat energy by the light bulb. The electrical energy flows through the wires, powering the filament in the bulb which then emits light.


Explain why electric motors and generators are opposites?

Electric motors take electric energy and turn it into kinetic energy Generators take mechanical energy and turn it into electric energy


Plug a lamp into an electrical socket and you turn electrical energy into this form of energy?

-- None at all if the lamp is switched off.-- If the lamp is switched on, then electrical energy is turned into a little bit ofvisible light energy and a comparatively larger quantity of heat energy.

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.


Which device changes electricity to other forms of energy?

Lots of devices do that. A motor will convert electrical energy to mechanical energy (i.e., to movement); a lamp will convert it to light; a speaker will turn it to sound; etc.
