Energy Transformation

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

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object, which is used to do work.

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons, often used to power devices.

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter, often felt as heat.

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like food or fuel.

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion, depending on its mass and speed.

A wind turbine turning converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

A hairdryer converts electrical energy into thermal energy to dry hair.

A car engine converts chemical energy from fuel into mechanical energy to move the car.

An electric pencil sharpener converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to sharpen pencils.
