What type of energy transformation occurs when a light bulb is turned on? a. potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. b. electrical energy is transformed into heat and light energy. c. mechanical energy is converted into kinetic energy. d. electrical energy is transformed into heat and mechanical energy.

Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. energy can be transformed from one form to another.

The correct answer is:

Option B. Electrical energy is transformed into heat and light energy

The transformation of energy in the bulb can be explained as:

1. Electrical energy is defined as the energy possed by an object due to the flow of electrons. The energy required for the bulb to complete the circuit for current flowing is electrical energy.

2. The bulb when turned on converts the electrical energy into heat and light energy. Thus, energy transformed from electrical to heat and light.

Thus, the correct option is B.

B. Electrical energy is transformed into heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and motion.

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion.

Electrical energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of flow of electrons.

According to law of conservation of energy, energy remains conserved. It only transforms from one form to another. When light bulb is turned on, the electric energy from electric current is transformed into light energy and passed outside through the filament.
