Energy Transformation

Energy transformation refers to the process of changing energy from one form to another. This concept is fundamental in physics and engineering, illustrating how energy can be converted to perform work or produce heat. Common examples include converting chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy through combustion, transforming mechanical energy into electrical energy with generators, and changing solar energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. Energy transformation adheres to the laws of conservation of energy, meaning that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another. This principle is essential in understanding and designing systems for energy efficiency and sustainability.
