Lets Transfer Some Energy!
Different types of energy can be transferred from one type to another. Energy transfer diagrams show each type of energy, whether it is stored or not, and the processes taking place as it is transferred.
This can be shown using 'Sankey Diagrams'(below) Sankey Diagrams show that the thicker the line or arrow, the greater the amount of energy involved. The sankey diagram for a lightbulb shows that most of the electrical energy is transferred as heat rather than light.
