Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, convert light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. When photons from sunlight hit the cell, they knock electrons loose from atoms, generating an electric current.
A light bulb changes electrical energy into light energy by heating a filament inside the bulb with electricity, causing it to emit light. LED (Light Emitting Diode) devices also convert electrical energy into light energy through a process called electroluminescence.
A resistor or a component like a light bulb or a motor changes electrical energy into another form of energy, such as heat, light, or mechanical motion.
Energy in a flashlight changes from stored chemical energy in the battery to electrical energy when the battery powers the light bulb, which then converts electrical energy into light and heat energy.
An LED (light-emitting diode) is a common device that converts electrical energy into light energy. When an electric current is passed through the LED, it emits light.
When an electric light is turned on, electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb, causing it to emit light. Some of the electrical energy is also transformed into heat energy due to the resistance within the light bulb.
