Correct Option: A

Which of the following energy conversions take place in a torch?

  1. electrical $\rightarrow$ chemical $\rightarrow$ light

  2. chemical $\rightarrow$ electrical $\rightarrow$ light

  3. electrical $\rightarrow$ light $\rightarrow$ chemical

  4. light $\rightarrow$ chemical $\rightarrow$ electrical


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The chemicalenergy stored in batteries gets transformed into electrical energy through the wires. This then gets transformed into light energy that you see.
