  1. chemical energy into light energy

  2. light energy into chemical energy

  3. light energy into mechanical energy

  4. light energy into muscular energy

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

During photosynthesis, green plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in the form of food.

Which of the following devices convert light energy into electrical energy?

physics the essence of change different forms of energy energy conversions energy transformations and energy transfers

  1. An electric bulb

  2. A photocell

  3. A microphone

  4. A dynamo

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A photocell gives out electric current when light is incident on it. So, it converts light energy into electrical energy.

Which of the following devices does not convert electrical energy into sound energy?

physics the essence of change different forms of energy energy conversions energy transformations and energy transfers

  1. A loud speaker

  2. A microphone

  3. A buzzer

  4. An electric bell

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A microphone converts sound energy into electrical energy. All other devices mentioned convert electrical energy into sound energy.

A battery, left idle (i.e., not in use):

physics the essence of change different forms of energy energy conversions energy transformations and energy transfers

  1. converts chemical energy into electrical energy

  2. converts electrical energy into chemical energy

  3. converts electrical energy into light energy

  4. does no energy conversions

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When a battery is not in use, it does not give out electric current. So, the chemical energy stored in it does not get converted.

A running car converts:

physics the essence of change different forms of energy energy conversions energy transformations and energy transfers

  1. chemical energy into mechanical energy

  2. mechanical energy into chemical energy

  3. potential energy into kinetic energy

  4. no energy

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A running car burns fuel and thus moves. So, it converts chemical energy into mechanical energy.

By charging a battery, we convert electrical energy into

physics the essence of change different forms of energy energy conversions energy transformations and energy transfers

  1. heat energy

  2. chemical energy

  3. magnetic energy

  4. mechanical energy

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

By charging a battery, we convert electrical energy into chemical energy. A battery, on the contrary, in use, converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
