  2. kinetic to chemical

  3. thermal to potential

  4. electric to thermal

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A toaster uses electrical energy from the wall outlet and converts it into thermal (heat) energy to toast the bread.

Multiple choice
  1. electrical

  2. heat

  3. chemical

  4. mechanical

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Batteries contain chemical substances that react to produce an electric current. Therefore, the energy stored within them is chemical potential energy.

Multiple choice
  1. the ability to do work

  2. electricity

  3. a force

  4. the ability to transform work

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In physics, energy is defined as the capacity or ability to perform work, where work is defined as a force applied over a distance.

Multiple choice
  1. Electric Energy

  2. Potential Energy

  3. Electromagnetic Energy

  4. Kinetic Energy

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy an object or particle possesses due to its motion.

Multiple choice physics option b: engineering physics conversion of heat into work: heat engine and it's efficiency engines and cycles refrigerators and heat pumps

The heat pump is also called as the :

  1. Reverse motor

  2. Reverse refrigerator

  3. Reverse oscillator

  4. Reverse engine

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Though the working principle of refrigerator and heat pump is same but heat pump is used to warm a room whereas refrigerator is used to cool down the temperature of material inside it , so heat pump is also called a reverse refrigerator .

Multiple choice physics option b: engineering physics conversion of heat into work: heat engine and it's efficiency engines and cycles refrigerators and heat pumps

Which of the following is not the component of heat pump?

  1. Condenser

  2. Compressor

  3. Cooler

  4. Expansion valve

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A heat pump is a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to what is called a "heat sink". Heat pumps move thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one. A heat pump uses a small amount of external power to accomplish the work of transferring energy from the heat source to the heat sink,there are four main components of heat pump: compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator
