What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as electrical energy to thermal energy.

Front

What energy transformation occurs in a blow dryer?

Back

Electrical energy transforms into thermal energy.

Front

What is a series circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What is renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from resources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydro energy.

Front

What are fossil fuels?

Back

Fossil fuels are energy resources like coal, oil, and natural gas that are formed from the remains of ancient living organisms.

Front

What types of energy are produced by a light bulb in a complete circuit?

Back

A light bulb in a complete circuit produces thermal energy and light energy.

Front

What is solar energy?

Back

Solar energy is energy harnessed from the sun's rays, which can be converted into thermal or electrical energy.

Front

What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy?

Back

Renewable energy can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable energy comes from sources that will eventually run out, like fossil fuels.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter; it is the total kinetic energy of particles in an object.
