Energy Transformations in Flashlights

Miss Locksley explains the flashlight energy transformation assignment, detailing how chemical energy in the battery transforms into electrical energy in the wires, and then into light energy in the bulb. She highlights the law of conservation of energy, noting that energy is not lost but transformed, with thermal energy being a byproduct. The lesson concludes with a review and an invitation for questions.

What is the main task of the flashlight energy transformation assignment?
