Questions Related to forms of energy and energy conservation

The type of energy utilised by humans and animals to carry out their daily life activities is ________ .

physics the essence of change forms of energy and energy conservation energy for everything forms of energy

  1. wind energy

  2. geothermal energy

  3. biochemical energy

  4. hydro energy

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Biochemical energy comes under biochemistry which is a study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. By controlling information flow through biochemical signaling and flow of chemical energy through metabolism, biochemical processes involves in day to day activities.
Hence biochemical energy is utilised by humans for carrying daliy activities.

The energy stored in a torch cell is :

physics the essence of change forms of energy and energy conservation energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Light energy

  2. Electrical energy

  3. Chemical energy

  4. Potential energy

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The torch cell makes use of redox reaction to store energy in the form of chemical energy. This chemical energy is then converted to electrical energy and finally to light energy as the bulb glows.


Hence, correct answer is option $C$

The energy that helps in burning of wood is :

physics the essence of change forms of energy and energy conservation energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Chemical

  2. Electrical

  3. Potential

  4. Muscular

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the case of burning wood, stored chemical energy in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the chemical energy into heat and light energy.


Hence, correct answer is option $A$

An electric heater converts electrical energy into

physics the essence of change forms of energy and energy conservation energy for everything forms of energy

  1. Chemical energy

  2. Heat energy

  3. Light energy

  4. Muscular energy

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An electric heater is an electrical device that converts electrical energy into heat energy. The heating elements inside electric heater is an electrical converter and works on the principle of joule heating. An electric current passing through resistor converts electrical energy into heat energy.
