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

Answer 1

When the switch is turned on in a simple circuit containing a battery, a switch, and a bell, the energy transformation that occurs is from electrical energy to mechanical energy.

Here's how it works:

1. The battery provides electrical energy when the switch is closed (turned on).
2. This electrical energy flows through the circuit and energizes the bell.
3. The bell then converts this electrical energy into mechanical energy, producing sound as it rings.

So, the overall energy transformation is electrical energy → mechanical energy (and sound energy, as a byproduct).
