U2 - Energy Transformations Review

What kind of energy transformation happens when you turn on a light switch?

• heat energy to motion energy

• motion energy to sound energy

• electrical energy to light energy

• chemical energy to light energy

Using the figure below, what evidence explains the energy transfer shown?

• The toasted bread is evidence that electrical energy is transferred to the toaster, where electrical energy is then transformed into thermal energy.

• The plugged-in toaster is evidence that electrical energy is transferred to the toaster, where electrical energy is then transformed into light energy.

• The toasted bread is evidence that chemical energy is transferred to the toaster, where chemical energy is then transformed into thermal energy.

• The plugged-in toaster is evidence that chemical energy is transferred to the toaster, where chemical energy is then transformed into electrical energy.
