What type of energy is used when you turn on a lamp?

Back

When you turn on a lamp, you use mechanical energy from your hand to create electrical energy that powers the lamp.

Front

What happens to electrical energy in a circuit?

Back

In a circuit, electrical energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as thermal energy in a resistor or radiant energy in a light bulb.
