Question

What is the energy transformation that takes place in an electric iron

Answer 1

Energy transformation Ironing clothes takes out their wrinkles and makes them smooth. This takes heat, which is one type of energy. In the iron, electrical energy is used, and it is transformed into heat energy.

Answer 2

Electrical energy to heat energy transformation takes place in an electric iron.

• We cannot create or destroy energy but we can easily transform one form of energy into another another form of energy.

• Similarly,the electrical iron which we use in our homes for ironing wrinkled clothes, produces significant amount of heat energy.

• Here,the electrical energy is used to produce heat energy due to the resistance of the internal conducting material of the electrical iron.
