A simple circuit is wired with a battery a switch and a bell. When the switch is turned on what energy transformation will occur

1 answer

When the switch in the circuit is turned on, electrical energy from the battery is transformed into mechanical energy in the bell. Specifically, the electrical energy flows through the circuit, causing the bell to ring, which produces sound energy as well. Therefore, the primary energy transformations occurring are:

  1. Electrical Energy (from the battery) →
  2. Mechanical Energy (causing the bell to move) →
  3. Sound Energy (produced by the ringing of the bell).

So, the sequence of energy transformation can be summarized as electrical energy being converted to mechanical and sound energy.
