What is the energy conversion while liting a match stick?

When lighting a match stick, the chemical energy stored in the match head is converted to thermal energy through the process of combustion. This thermal energy produced causes the ignition of the match stick, releasing light and heat energy in the form of a flame.


What kind of energy does the stick of a match have?

The stick of a match contains chemical energy, which is released when the match is struck, causing a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.


When the match stick is struck against the match box it gets lit what energy is converted into light and heat?

The energy of mechanical work is converted into light and heat energy when a match stick is struck against a matchbox. Friction between the match head and the rough surface ignites the match head, producing light and heat as a result.


What type of energy does a match use?

when a match is struck the friction caused is actually the electromagnetic force of the molecules which make up the match stick and the surface struck against. The electrons within the atoms of the match stick repel against the surfaces electrons and causes excitement within the atoms of the match stick. The excitement is actually heat and the kerosene on the end of the match ignites into a flame. The flame is excited electrons. They have so much energy that they are able to escape the attractive force from the nucleus. The reason why the flame is hot is because of the energy the escaping electrons carry. As for the energy, It would be the kinetic energy of the electrons. Suppose you could call that chemical energy but that's really just kinetic energy.


What energy takes place in a matchstick?

Initially the plain old match stick is heated by frictional forces as the match is struck. This heat ignited the compound on the match head with the required temperature of ignition is reached. The heat transfer process is conduction. The lit match emits heat energy by radiation. It also will produce heating of the air by conduction and convection.

How can i make a match stick burn without rubing it?

You can light a match stick using another match stick, a lighter, or a candle. Simply expose the match head to the flame to ignite it.
