Question
Chapter 2, Problem 63E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The energy conversions that occur regularly in the home are to be identified. Whether these conversions are useful, wasteful or sometimes useful and sometimes wasteful are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of energy states that “energy can neither be created nor to be destroyed.” It can only transfer from one form to other form of energy. Electrical energy is the energy produced by the motion of charges.
