A Review

1. ELE to KE = Electrical energy conversion to kinetic energy.

2. KE to ELE = kinetic energy conversion to electrical energy.

3. CE to ELE = chemical energy conversion to electrical energy.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed or converted from one form to another.

Some examples of energy are chemical energy, electrical energy, kinetic energy, sound energy, potential energy, light energy, etc.

The transformation of energy from one form to another are described below;

1. A hair dryer plugged into the wall: it involves the conversion of electrical energy to kinetic energy. The energy type present in the wall socket is electrical energy which powers the hair dryer to have kinetic energy i.e the energy possessed due to motion of hair dryer.

2. A hand crank generator emergency radio: it illustrates the conversion of kinetic energy to electrical energy. The hand crank generator possess kinetic energy as it is being wounded before it is then converted into electrical energy which powers the radio.

3. A battery operated fan: it illustrates the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy. The cells present in battery possess chemical energy that is being converted into electrical energy to power the fan.

the arctic is a region of the planet, north of the arctic circle, and includes the arctic ocean, greenland, baffin island, other smaller northern islands, and the far northern parts of europe, russia (siberia), alaska and canada.
