Look around your home or classroom. List any three objects that use energy and mention their source of energy. For example: Object; Fan → Energy Source: Electricity
Three objects that use energy and their sources are:
-
Electric bulb → Energy Source: Electricity
-
Gas stove → Energy Source: Cooking gas (fuel)
-
Torch → Energy Source: Battery
Other examples include: Refrigerator (electricity), Car (petrol/diesel), Solar calculator (Sun's energy).
