Solar cellschange radiant energy into electrical energy. Energychanges form, but the total amount of energy in theuniverse stays the same.
The light that you see is electromagnetic energy. Another Example In a car, electrical energy produces a spark. The thermal energy of the spark releases chemical energy in the fuel. The fuelâs chemical energy in turn becomes thermal energy. Thermal energy is converted to mechanical energy to move the car and electrical energy to produce more sparks.
