Some ways that energy transfer occurs are: radiation, heat conduction, convection, electrical power transmission and mechanical work. In Science, the Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can be transformed, it can't be created or destroyed.

1 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when using a microphone?
Electrical → sound
Electrical → thermal
Sound → electrical
Sound → thermal
A microphone converts sound into an electrical signal. This is then passed to a speaker which reverses the process
2 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a cyclist brakes to stop?
Kinetic → elastic
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → thermal
Thermal → kinetic
The thermal (heat) energy is produced by friction
3 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer in a loudspeaker?
Electrical → sound
Electrical → thermal
Sound → electrical
Sound → thermal
4 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a wind-up clockwork toy is released?
Elastic → kinetic
Elastic → potential
Kinetic → elastic
Kinetic → sound
5 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer taking place when a gas fire burns?
Chemical → sound
Chemical → thermal
Thermal → chemical
Thermal → light
The energy stored in gas is chemical, light is also produced but is not the main product
6 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a light bulb is switched on?
Electrical → light
Electrical → sound
Light → electrical
Light → thermal
7 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer in a solar cell on a calculator?
Electrial → light
Light → electrical
Light → kinetic
Light → thermal
8 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when you drop a ball?
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → sound
Potential → kinetic
Potential → thermal
The ball has potential (stored) energy due to gravity
9 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer when a ball rolls UP a ramp?
Kinetic → potential
Kinetic → thermal
Potential → kinetic
Potential → sound
As the ball rolls up, it gains potential energy due to gravity
10 .
Which is the MAIN energy transfer taking place when a candle burns?
Chemical → light
Chemical → sound
Light → chemical
Thermal → chemical
Thermal energy is also produced
