Answer:
A flashlight is a portable, battery-operated device used
for illumination. A typical hand-held flashlight consists of
one or more dry-cell batteries arranged in a line inside a
compartment that forms the handle of the light. A switch
is placed between the batteries and the bulb to control
the flow of electricity from the batteries to the bulb at the
front end of the light.
2 Flashlights have multiple uses. Our parents may use them during emergencies, such as power
outages, when our car breaks down, or while searching through the attic, the basement, or a
dark closet. You may have used one on a camping trip or when you walked down the street
while trick-or-treating. Everyone has used a flashlight at one time or another, and by doing so,
energy has been transformed.
3 Energy is the ability to do work or cause a change. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that
“energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another.”
There are many different forms of energy, such as chemical energy, electrical energy, light
energy, and thermal energy.
4 What energy transformations occur when we use a flashlight? First, the batteries contain
chemical energy, which is energy that is released during a chemical change. When chemical
bonds are formed or broken, electrons are rearranged, and this movement of electrons
produces chemical energy. Batteries can convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
5 Electrical energy is the energy of electricity—electrical charges moving through a conductor.
Electricity can be transported through wires to places where it is needed and then converted
into other forms. In a flashlight, the electrical energy becomes light energy and thermal energy light bulb.
so the answer would be yes It does.
