Question

You are cooking pasta and putting a pot of water on an electric stove. When the water starts to boil, you add the pasta. What energy transformation occurs to cook the pasta?(1 point)

Answer 1

When you put a pot of water on an electric stove and heat it, electrical energy is transformed into thermal (heat) energy. As the water heats up and eventually reaches a boiling point, this thermal energy is then transferred to the pasta when it's added, causing the pasta to cook. Therefore, the energy transformation involved is electrical energy to thermal energy.
