Chemical energy is stored in batteries through a process called electrochemical reactions. In this process, electrons are transferred between two electrodes, one made of metal and the other of carbon. The reactions occur in an electrolyte solution that contains ions. The ions are attracted to the electrodes and help to conduct the electrical current. As … Read more
The law of energy conservation states that when one form of energy is converted into another, the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant. If you take a certain amount of energy out of the system, an equal amount must be put back in. For example, if you use a machine to convert … Read more
There are three types of energy transfer that can occur during a lab simulation: heat, light, and sound. Each type of energy transfer occurs when there is a difference in temperature between two objects or when one object is moving faster than the other. In the case of heat transfer, the warmer object will transfer … Read more
