Energy Transfer

Front

What are the three main ways energy can be transferred from one place to another?

Back

Conduction, convection, and radiation.

Front

What is the definition of distance in the context of energy transfer?

Back

Distance is a measure of how far apart objects are.

Front

What types of energy do lamps typically transfer to food?

Back

Lamps transfer light energy and heat energy to food.

Front

What is energy transformation?

Back

Energy transformation is the process of converting one form of energy into another, such as light energy being converted to heat energy.

Front

What type of energy do batteries store?

Back

Batteries store energy as chemical energy.

Front

What is conduction in terms of energy transfer?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection in terms of energy transfer?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat energy through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation in terms of energy transfer?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light.

Front

How does light energy affect temperature?

Back

Light energy can increase the temperature of an object when it is absorbed, converting to heat energy.

Front

What is the relationship between energy transformation and efficiency?

Back

Energy transformation can lead to energy loss, often as heat, affecting the efficiency of energy use.
