Session 2: Energy Forms & Evidence — Practice Questions

  1. 1. For any functioning electrical device, the electrical energy that flows from the power source into the device is called the:

    • A. output
    • B. input
    • C. conversion
    • D. circuit
  2. 2. When a television is on, it produces light and sound. According to the principle of energy conversion, what is happening to the electrical energy it uses?

    • A. It is being destroyed by the screen and speakers.
    • B. It is being changed into light, sound, and heat energy.
    • C. It is being stored inside the television for later.
    • D. It is being created by the television's internal power supply.
  3. 3. In the context of an electrical device, what is the best description of "energy conversion"?

    • A. The process of creating new electrical energy from a power source.
    • B. The process of changing electrical energy into another form, like motion or sound.
    • C. The movement of electricity through wires to reach a device.
    • D. The method of storing electrical energy inside the device for later use.
  4. 4. What is the primary role of an electrical device, such as a blender or a speaker, when it is connected to a power source?

    • A. To generate the initial electricity for the circuit.
    • B. To act as a safety switch that stops the flow of electricity.
    • C. To store all the electrical energy that flows from the power source.
    • D. To take in electrical energy and change it into a different, useful form of energy.
  5. 5. A student plugs in an electric fan, and the blades begin to spin, creating a breeze. What is the main energy conversion happening in the fan?

    • A. Motion to electrical
    • B. Electrical to motion
    • C. Heat to electrical
    • D. Electrical to sound
  6. 6. When an electric fan is operating, which of the following is a primary energy output?

    • A. The movement of the blades
    • B. The color of the fan's housing
    • C. The length of the electrical cord
    • D. The material the on/off switch is made of
  7. 7. A phone screen lights up and makes a sound when it receives a notification. These observations are evidence of what?

    • A. The phone's case color
    • B. The phone's physical weight
    • C. Energy being used by the phone
    • D. The manufacturing date of the phone
  8. 8. Hearing a humming noise from a running refrigerator is direct evidence that the device is producing which form of energy?

    • A. Sound energy
    • B. Light energy
    • C. Chemical energy
    • D. Electrical energy
  9. 9. A student plugs in a speaker and music begins to play. What is the primary output that provides evidence of energy use in this scenario?

    • A. The shape of the speaker.
    • B. The sound of the music.
    • C. The length of the speaker wire.
    • D. The button used to turn the volume up.
  10. 10. Which of the following is NOT an energy output produced by a working electrical device?

    • A. The glow from a television screen.
    • B. The brand name printed on the device.
    • C. The warm air blown by a space heater.
    • D. The beeping sound from a finished dishwasher cycle.
