The Transformation of Energy - JSS1 Basic science Lesson Note

The transformation of energy is the process by which energy changes from one form to another. This happens all around us, constantly. For instance, when you switch on a light bulb, electrical energy is transformed into light and heat energy. Similarly, when you eat food, your body transforms the chemical energy stored in the food into kinetic energy to move and perform tasks.

 

This process obeys the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Understanding these transformations is crucial in various fields like physics, engineering, and environmental science, as it helps us optimize energy use and develop sustainable technologies.
