Question

Which of the following energy transformation takes place in a toaster?

• A. $Solarenergy\to Electricalenergy$
• B. $Electricalenergy\to Heatenergy$
• C. $Electricalenergy\to Lightenergy$
• D. $Lightenergy\to Heatenergy$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$Electricalenergy\to Heatenergy$

Electrical energy flows into the toaster through the wire connected to the electrical supply. The toaster consist of the heating element. When electrical energy passes through this heating element, it converts this electrical energy to heat energy which helps to prepare toast (bread that turns brown on exposure to heat). Hence electrical energy is transformed to heat energy in a electric toaster.
