Forms and Transformations of Energy

• Energy manifests in daily activities from waking up to going to bed.

Energy Transformation

• Energy transforms from one form to another.
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed; it simply transforms.

Examples of Energy Transformation

• Electrical energy transforms into light and thermal energy in a lightbulb.
• Mechanical energy converts into electrical energy via a generator.
• Potential energy transforms into kinetic energy when an arrow is shot.
• Kinetic energy converts into heat when an arrow hits a target.
• Wind turbines transform eolic energy into electricity.
• Potential energy transforms into kinetic energy as an object falls.
• Chemical energy converts into mechanical energy when a boiler is ignited.
• Wave energy transforms into electrical energy through ducts and turbines.
• A car engine transforms thermodynamic energy into mechanical energy.
• Heat energy from coal transformed into kinetic energy to move old trains.
• Electrical energy becomes thermal energy when using an iron.
• Nuclear fission transforms chemical energy into atomic energy.
• Solar panels transform solar energy into electrical energy.
• Wind energy converts into mechanical energy with a mill moved by air masses or wind.
