You are cooking pasta and putting a pot of water on an electric stove. When the water starts to boil, you add the pasta. What energy transformation occurs to cook the pasta? amechanical energy to light energy belectric energy to heat energy cnuclear energy to heat energy dheat energy to mechanical energy
The correct answer is: c) electric energy to heat energy.
When you turn on an electric stove, it converts the electric energy into heat energy by passing an electric current through the heating element or coil. This heat energy is then transferred to the pot of water, causing it to boil. Once the water is boiling, the heat energy is further transferred to the pasta when it is added to the boiling water, cooking it through the process of conduction.
