Wind turbines are used to harness energy from the wind as the wind spins the blades. Others can then use this energy to power their homes.

When the wind spins the blades, what transfer of energy occurs?

• energy of motion is transferred into electrical energy

• electrical energy is transferred into heat and light energy

• solar energy is transferred into electrical energy

• electrical energy is transferred into energy of motion

Which of the following explains what happens when the light bulb lights up in the circuit below?

• When the switch is closed, the bulb reflects sunlight until it shines brightly and makes heat energy.

• When the switch is closed, the physical properties of the battery are changed by the chemicals inside it.

• When the switch is closed, energy moves through the wires and is changed into light energy in the bulb.

• When the switch is closed, the wires that connect the parts stop heat energy from flowing.
