To Explain:The source of energy for the bulbwhen a person rides along a flat road.
Answer to Problem 11SSC
Mechanical energy is a source of the energy forthe bulb when you ride along a flat road.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A device, which changes motive power (or mechanical energy) into electrical power (used in external circuit),is called an electric generator. Electric generators work on the principle of
In order to generate electricity for the light attached to the bicycle some mechanical energy needs to be supplied to the dynamo in the light source. The mechanical energy for the dynamo is obtained from the moving wheels of the bicycle. The dynamo uses that mechanical energy to convert the form of energy from mechanical to electrical.
Conclusion:
The dynamo in the light source uses the mechanical energy from the moving wheel and converts it into electrical form.
