List various energy transformation that takes place when washing machine is used
Answers
A washing machine is an appliance that washes our clothes by rotating the at very high speed along with water and detergent.
The different types of energy transformation that takes place are :
1. Electric to mechanical : Electric energy from the mains is converted to rotational kinetic energy of the central axis.
2. Electrical to heat : The electric energy from the mains is converted to heat energy used to warm the water and dry the clothes.
3. Mechanical to electromagnetic: the mechanical energy of our hands used to press control buttons is converted into electromechanical energy.
Energy: The capacity to do work is termed as energy.
Energy transformation: The process of energy from one form to another is called as energy transformation.
There are various types of energy transformation. They are,
- Electrical energy to Light or Sound energy
- Light energy to Chemical energy
- Chemical energy to Mechanical energy
- Electrical energy to thermal energy
When using a washing machine, the electrical energy is converted in to mechanical energy.
This mechanical energy is used to produce heat by rotating fast.
Hence, When washing machine is used,
- Electrical energy to Mechanical energy
- Mechanical energy to Heat energy
