Energy transformation

  • 3 years ago
Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat
Electric generator (Kinetic energy or Mechanical work → Electrical energy) Fuel cells (Chemical energy → Electrical energy) Battery (electricity) (Chemical energy → Electrical energy) Fire (Chemical energy → Heat and Light)
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. ... The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.
