Can electrical energy change into chemical energy and light energy?

Yes, electrical energy can be used to drive chemical reactions in a battery to store energy in the form of chemical energy. Additionally, electrical energy can be converted into light energy by passing an electric current through a light bulb or LED.


When you flip the switch on a flashlight what make it come on?

When you flip the switch on a flashlight, it completes the circuit and allows the flow of electricity from the battery to the light bulb. This causes the filament in the light bulb to heat up and produce light through a process called incandescence.


When you turn on a a radio what is one energy change that happens?

Chemical energy in you body is converted, in you muscles, to mechanical energy which enables you to flip or press the switch.


Why does the light turn on as soon as you flip the lightswitch?

The light is connected in a electrical circuit. The electricity will only pass through the circuit if the circuit is closed. A switch can open and close this circuit by simply not making contact with the next wire so the electricity can not be passed on. When you turn on the switch, the circuit gets closed again and the electricity will run through, so to the light. Because electricity has the speed of light (+-300 000 km/h) it will seems like the electricity reaches the light immediately. Plus the neutral travels through the filement of the bulb and down the switch wire giving an instant closed circuit when switch is closed
