Study Notes
- A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
- A turbine is the opposite of a fan because a turbine uses wind to make electricity, while a fan uses electricity to make wind.
- Batteries store chemical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy.
- Toaster ovens use heat and electrical energy to toast bread.
- Sound energy is NOT commonly used to produce electrical energy.
Energy Conversions
- Sound energy is produced using mechanical energy.
- Burning of fossil fuels involves conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy.
- Mechanical energy involves the movement of an object.
- Electrical Energy section of the article provides information on wind turbines.
- Some mechanical energy is converted to sound energy when a hammer hits a nail.
