The document discusses the differences between energy transfers and energy transformations. An energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another, while an energy transformation is when energy changes from one type to another. An example of an energy transformation given is electricity moving from a wall plug through a charger and into a battery, since the energy changes forms. The law of conservation of energy relates to energy transformations in that no energy is destroyed during a transformation, as one form of energy is converted into another form, but the total amount of energy remains the same.

1) What is the difference between an energy transfer and an
Energy transfer is the movement of energy transformation? energy from one location to another Energy transformation is when energy changes from one type to another 2) What is an example of an energy transformation? Why is it an example? when electricity moves from a wall plug, through a charger, to a battery. Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another 3) How does the law of conservation of energy relate to energy when one form of energy is transformed to transformations? another, no energy is destroyed in the process.
