I. Forms and Transformations
A. Forms of Energy3) Mechanical energy – energy of an
object because of its motion, or potential to move.
Ex. An elastic has the potential to move when pulled back; when moving has motion
4) Thermal energy – the kinetic energy of a particle in an object; the faster it moves the more kinetic energy is present (the hotter the temperature)

Parts of a MotorParts Function
Spins due to changing current in wire and interaction with magnetsMakes light contact with split-ring
Causes current to reverse direction every half turnCause attraction of opposite poles and repel of like poles
![Page 16: Topic 3.0 Converting electricity and efficiency](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062813/56816658550346895dd9d723/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
II. Electrical and Mechanical Energy TransformationsB. How a Motor Works
1. Electromagnet (with running current) is placed between the poles of a permanent magnet.
2. The brushes bring current from the power sources to the commutator – is then transferred to armature.
3. Electromagnet (armature) turns to align N of armature to S of magnet (opposite attract)
![Page 17: Topic 3.0 Converting electricity and efficiency](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062813/56816658550346895dd9d723/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

4. Just as the armature aligns with the magnet, the commutator reverses the current in the electromagnet Causes the poles of the electromagnet
(armature) to reverse 5. The armature gets attracted to
opposite pole and continues to spin (creates mechanical energy)

decrease voltage; The current is fed into the primary coil
which “induces” (causes) a current in the secondary coil

secondary coil
b) Step-down – decreases voltage -primary coil has more coils than
secondary coil
