Analyze the electrical circuit diagram with a battery (power source) and a fan (load).

Question

There is an initial change in energy, the chemical energy in the battery (power source) is changed to electric energy. What type of
energy changes occur as the electrical energy moves through the circuit? (select two)
(2 points)
Thermal Energy
Chemical Energy
Sound Energy
Nuclear Energy

Answer 1

The two types of energy changes that occur as the electrical energy moves through the circuit are:

1. Thermal Energy - Some of the electrical energy is converted into thermal energy due to resistance in the circuit components, such as wires and the fan itself. This can result in heat being produced.

2. Sound Energy - The fan, being a mechanical device, creates sound as it spins. Some of the electrical energy is converted into sound energy as the fan operates.
