List 3 ways you can use an electric current. Describe the energy change that takes place. Make sure a second grader can understand! 3 sentences at most (altogether)!
1. Electric current can be used in light bulbs to produce light. When the electric current flows through the filament of a light bulb, it heats up and becomes so hot that it starts to glow, creating light energy.
2. Another way electric current is used is in electric fans. When the electric current flows through the fan's motor, it creates a rotating magnetic field that spins the blades, converting electrical energy into kinetic energy, which makes the fan blade move and circulate air.
3. Electric current can also be used to power electronic devices like phones and tablets. When you connect your device to a charger, the electric current flows into the battery and is converted into chemical energy that gets stored in the battery. This stored energy is then used later when you use your device.
