Question

energy is the ability to cause change. energy transformation occurs when one form of energy changes to another. there are many different forms of energy. they include mechanical energy, sound energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, and electrical energy. examples of energy transfer: listening to music - electrical to sound photosynthesis - light to chemical weightlifting - chemical (from food) to mechanical running - chemical (from food) to mechanical and thermal car engine - chemical (from fuel) to mechanical and thermal turning on lights - electrical to light and thermal making toast - electrical to thermal what happens when you turn on a light? electrical energy is transformed into light and heat. electrical energy is transformed into sound and heat. electrical energy is transformed into nuclear energy and light.

Explanation:

When a light is turned on, based on the concept of energy transformation. Electrical energy is the input. As per the examples given (like turning on lights - electrical to light and thermal), when electricity flows through the light bulb's filament (for incandescent bulbs, similar principles apply in essence for other types too in terms of energy conversion), the filament resists the flow of electrons. This resistance causes the filament to heat up (thermal energy) and also emit light (light energy). So, electrical energy is transformed into light and heat.

Answer:

Electrical energy is transformed into light and heat.
