Energy Transformations in a Cell Phone

By Paul Söllinger

The sun has nuclear energy, electromagnetic, thermal and nuclear energy.

The solar panels transform the nuclear energy from the sun into solar energy (electrical and thermal energy).

The solar energy is transferred to the charger.

The EE is transferred from the cable to the charger. This transforms it into not as powerful electrical energy which then gets transferred to the cable that then transfers its EE to the phones battery.
