Question

what energy transformation occurs when a battery - powered flashlight is switched on?
○ chemical to light to electrical
○ electrical to light to chemical
○ chemical to electrical to light
○ electrical to chemical to light

Explanation:

A battery stores chemical energy. When the flashlight is switched on, the battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy to power the circuit. Then, the electrical energy is converted into light energy (and some heat) by the bulb. So the energy transformation is chemical to electrical to light.

Answer:

C. chemical to electrical to light
