The sum total of all the chemical reactions in your body are referred to as metabolism. And all chemical reactions run on chemical energy. The main molecule of energy in your body, and all living things in general, is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

∙ 10y agoCurrent flows along the wires to the bulb. There is a potential difference (voltage) between the wires and across the filament of the bulb, and as electric charges (current) flow down the potential gradient in the filament, energy is released from the electromagnetic field and converted into heat. The temperature of the filament rises until it is incandescent so that it emits light. Unfortunately it also releases about 80% of the power as heat.
The power drawn from the supply causes the generator at the nearest power plant (if steam-driven) to require more torque to drive it, and it slows momentarily, so that initially the energy for the bulb is supplied from the kinetic energy of the rotating parts. The phase angle of the shaft begins to lag slightly as a result, and sensors detect the small difference and request more steam to supply the turbine. More steam flows in from the boiler to correct the change, and this in turn causes more fuel to be supplied to the boiler to restore the status quo.
Thus any power drawn from the supply causes more fuel to be burned and more CO2 to be exhausted into the atmosphere.
A power plant using hydroelectric power, for example, uses a higher water-flow to achieve a higher output power.

When you turn a toaster oven what happens to the electrical energy?
On turning a toaster oven, electrical energy converts into heat energy. It helps in making toasts.
When you turn on a toaster what happens to electrical energy?
it heats up
What happens to the chemical energy in the battery when you use a electric toothbrush?
The chemical energy is initially converted to electrical energy. This electrical energy works its way through a motor and is converted to mechanical energy.
What happens after chemical energy from a battery turns into electrical energy?
The electrical energy provides power. When the chemical energy is depleted, the battery will not longer generate electrical energy.
How is the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in microphone?
it is mechanical energy when it goes in and then stuff happens and it comes out as electrical
When you turn on the toaster on what happens to the electrical energy?
When you turn on a toaster, the electrical energy transforms into thermal energy to toast your bread. =]
When you turn a toaster on what happens to the electrical?
The electrical energy gets transformed into electromagnetic (light) energy and thermal (heat) energy.
What happens when electrical energy is added to water?
When electrical energy is added to water it creates electric shock.
What happens to the electrical energy when it passes through a household device such as a blender or a toaster?
The electrical energy remains the same
What energy happens when you plug in a blender?
electrical energy becomes kinetic energy and sound energy
What energy do appliances such as toasters and irons use?
All home kitchen appliances use electrical energy.
Which best describes the energy conversion that happens when hydroelectric power plants are used to make electricity?
Kinetic energy to electrical energy
