If you have solar panels in the oven is being used to bake cookies what energy transformation occurs when baking cookies in the house

1 answer

If you have solar panels and the oven is being used to bake cookies, the energy transformation that occurs is:

1. Solar energy -> Electrical energy: The solar panels convert sunlight (solar energy) into electrical energy, which is used to power the oven.

2. Electrical energy -> Thermal energy: The electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy (heat) by the oven's heating element, which then heats up the oven cavity.

3. Thermal energy -> Chemical energy: The thermal energy is transferred to the dough, causing it to rise and undergo chemical reactions, resulting in the baking of cookies. The heat transforms the raw dough into cooked cookies.

Overall, the energy transformation is from solar energy to electrical energy, then to thermal energy, and finally to chemical energy in the form of baked cookies.
