Chemical energy to electrical energy
Chemical energy to electrical energy
Electrical energy to mechanical energy
Electrical energy to mechanical energy
The correct answer is: Chemical energy to electrical energy.
The type of energy transfer that occurs in this scenario is: Chemical energy to electrical energy.
To determine this, let's break down the components and their associated energies in the system:
1. Battery: The battery stores chemical energy, which is typically in the form of chemical reactions happening within the battery.
2. Light: The light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy.
By observing these components, we can see that the battery is providing the necessary chemical energy to produce electrical energy, which is then utilized by the light bulb to emit light. Therefore, the energy transfer taking place here is from chemical energy (stored in the battery) to electrical energy.
