What type of energy can be transformed into electrical energy?
Chemical energy
Chemical energy can also be converted into electrical energy. For example, the chemical energy in a battery is converted into electrical energy. The electrical energy, which involves the motion of electrical charges or currents, can be used to power everyday devices like computers and flashlights.
What electrical energy can be transformed when we switch on the electrical bulb?
In the case of an electric bulb, the electrical energy is converted to light and heat. The amount of electrical energy put into a bulb = the amount of light energy (desirable form) plus the heat energy that comes out of the bulb (undesirable form).
Which of the following is not an example of electric potential energy?
A vibrating pendulum when it is just passing through its mean position is not the example of potential energy.
What are some examples of electric potential energy?
Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored inside the system. Examples would include gravitational, elastic, electric potential energy. When you are in a higher potential energy state, it is likely that you would fall into a lower potential energy. For example you would fall if there is no supporting surface.
What things have potential energy?
Potential Energy. An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position.
What does electric potential energy mean?
Potential energy. Common types of potential energy include the gravitational potential energy of an object that depends on its mass and its distance from the center of mass of another object, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field.
What are facts about potential energy?
Potential energy is energy that an object stores. It is the energy that an object possesses when it is not in motion. When an object is held in a vertical position, it has gravitational potential energy because gravity is working to pull it down.
