Energy Transformation in Electrical Circuits E. Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits? An Electrical Circuit: 1. A source of electricity conducted in a wire. 2. The WIRE is a conductor and carries an electrical current. 3. There must be a device that transforms electrical energy. Ex: Light bulb or Radio.
E. Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits? 4. Must be connected in a complete path for transformation to occur. 5. A Switch controls the flow of electricity. • Open circuit = electricity will not flow (light is off) • Closed circuit = electricity will flow (light is on)
E. Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits? Sources of Electricity in a circuit: 1. Batteries (stored chemical energy) 2. Solar Cell (light from the sun) 3. Wall Outlets - this energy comes from generators in power plants. Ex: • Burning fuels (chemical) • Hydroelectric (mechanical )
E. Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits? Electrical Energy transformed to light, sound, heat & mechanical motion in a circuit. 1. Light: – Electrical Light in a circuit – Chemical electrical Light • Light bulb added to circuit 2. Sound: – Electrical Sound • Door bell, buzzer, radio, TV
E. Q. - How are the different types of energies transformed in electrical circuits? 3. Heat: – Electrical Heat • Toaster, stove, or heater 4. Mechanical Motion: – Electrical Mechanical Motion • Electric motor
