What is the energy transformation of a flashlight?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the type of energy transformation that occurs in a flashlight, specifically how energy is converted from one form to another when the flashlight is in use.
Answer
chemical energy -> electrical energy -> light energy + thermal energy
The final answer is chemical energy -> electrical energy -> light energy + thermal energy
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is chemical energy -> electrical energy -> light energy + thermal energy
More Information
The energy transformation in a flashlight begins with the conversion of chemical energy in the batteries to electrical energy when the circuit is completed. The electrical energy is then converted into light (electromagnetic) energy and some thermal (heat) energy.
