Electrical Energy Basics
What is the name of the path that electrical energy flows through?
A circuit
What type of energy is converted into light and heat energy in a light bulb?
Electrical energy
What will happen if a electrical wire is cut?
electrical energy will not be able to travel causing the lightbulb not to produce thermal and light energy.
What is electrical energy?
the flow of energy that can power things like tv, flashlight, games, ect.
Name the common source of electrical energy.
Batteries
Give an example of a device that transforms electrical energy into light and thermal energy?
flashlight, phone, game, ect
what will happened if the circuit is open?
electrical energy will be interrupted and will not be able to travel causing not to produce light and thermal energy.
what is thermal energy?
It's the energy that makes things hot or cold.
What are the four essential components of a simple electric circuit?
Energy source, switch, conductor, and load
Explain how a Tv transforms electrical energy into thermal and light energy.
Electrical energy flows through the circuit to the light bulb, where it is transformed into light energy and some thermal energy
If a circuit doesn't have a lightbulb or any other load the electricity will still flow through the wires. However, since there's nothing to use the energy, it won't produce any visible effect like light and thermal energy.
What is a circuit?
a path for electrical energy to move through.
