How does a flashlight illustrate the Law of Conservation of Energy? (1 point)
Responses
All of the electrical energy leaving the battery will travel through the circuit and return to the battery.
All of the electrical energy leaving the battery will travel through the circuit and return to the battery.
Potential energy in the battery will be converted to kinetic energy.
Potential energy in the battery will be converted to kinetic energy.
It is an electric circuit through which electrical energy flows.
It is an electric circuit through which electrical energy flows.
Potential chemical energy in the battery is converted to electrical energy, which is converted to light energy and heat energy.
1 answer
The correct response is:
Potential chemical energy in the battery is converted to electrical energy, which is converted to light energy and heat energy.
This illustrates the Law of Conservation of Energy, as energy is transformed from one form to another (chemical to electrical to light and heat) but is not created or destroyed.
