The motion of the electrons in the filament creates HEAT. The heat will excite the atoms of the filament until they emit Photons due to the jumping of electrons to higher energy shells.

Can electrical energy be converted into light and heat energy?
Yes. Consider lightning, or light bulbs.
Can mechanical energy power light bulbs?
Not without being converted into electrical energy.
How energy is transformed light from flashlight?
Battery electric energy is converted to light energy of flashlight.
What energy transformations take place when electrical energy is applied to light bulbs?
Electrical energy gets converted to light and heat energy.
What is true about energy and how light transforms into heat such as when a light warms up?
Light can be absorbed, and converted to heat.However, if a light-bulb heats up, it's to a great extent due to other effects - for example in the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulb, the electrical energy gets converted FIRST to heat energy; a small part of that heat energy then gets converted into visible light. In other types of light bulbs, the light bulbs get hot mainly because NOT all of the energy gets converted into visible light; part of it gets converted into heat.

How energy is transformed light from flashlight?
Battery electric energy is converted to light energy of flashlight.
How is the new light bulbs energy renewed?
The energy put into the bulb is converted to heat and light. Low-energy bulbs just use less electrical energy to keep them bright.
How can electric energy can be converted to another form of energy in your home?
yes... for example electrical energy is converted to heat and light energy in a light bulb
When electric flows through the mental filament of a light bulbelectrical energy is converted to?
The electrical energy is converted to both heat and light energy.
When electric current flows through a light bulb electric energy is formed to what?
It is converted into heat and light. Different types of bulb produce more light than others for the same power. Incandescent bulbs are the worst, fluorescent the best.

What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
When electric current flows through the metal filament of light bulb electric energy is converted to?
Heat and light.
Can electricity be converted into Energy?
Electric energy can be converted into many things, all of them are other forms of energy. Electric energy can be converted into heat energy, like in many stoves and ovens. Electric energy can be converted into sound energy, which happens in speakers. Electric energy can be converted into mechanical energy, like with electric motors in fans and other devices. Electric energy can be converted into light energy as with a light bulb. Unfortunately, we do not currently have the technology to turn energy forms into matter as is shown in many sci-fi shows like Star Trek's replicators. Every energy is able to change its type. For example sound energy can be converted into electrical , light, heat and in many other forms.
