Energy Transformations

Front

What is chemical energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is electrical energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons. It is commonly used to power devices and appliances.

Front

What is light energy?

Back

Light energy is a form of energy that is visible to the human eye. It is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total energy of all the particles in an object, related to its temperature. It is often referred to as heat energy.

Front

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, transforming light energy into chemical energy.

Front

What happens during energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as converting chemical energy in food into kinetic energy for movement.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a battery?

Back

In a battery, chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, which can then be used to power devices.

Front

What is an example of energy transformation in a lamp?

Back

In a lamp, electrical energy is transformed into light energy when the lamp is turned on.
