<em><u>Energy is the ability to do work. From the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created nor destroyed by may be transformed from one form to another.</u></em> Instruments or devices which converts energy from one form to another are called transducers.
<em><u>Hair dryer is an example of a transducer which converts electrical energy to either thermal or heat energy and also to kinetic energy. </u></em>Electrical energy entering the hair dryer is converted to kinetic energy or motion energy as the small electric motor in the dryer spins a fan blade.
Additionally,<em><u> electrical energy is also converted into heat or thermal energy in a grid of wire that heats up.</u></em> The fan pushes air across the hot wires, and hot air blows out the nozzle of the hair dryer.
