B - Chemical energy into electrical energy and light.***
C - Heat energy into chemical energy and light
D - Electrical energy and light energy into chemical energy.
B?
correct
That's correct, the answer is B - Chemical energy into electrical energy and light.
When you turn on a battery-powered flashlight, it is made possible by a chemical reaction that occurs within the battery. Batteries typically consist of two electrodes (a positive and a negative) immersed in an electrolyte solution.
Within the battery, a chemical reaction takes place between the electrodes and the electrolyte. This reaction causes a flow of electrons from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode) through an external circuit, which creates an electrical current.
The electrical current then flows through a filament or LED (light-emitting diode) in the flashlight, which converts the electrical energy into light energy. This is how the chemical energy stored in the battery is converted into electrical energy and ultimately into light when you turn on the flashlight.
