In a car engine, energy is converted in a number of ways to make the car run. Identify the correct order of the energy conversion in the engine of the car by this path:

The ignition switch is turned, which sends a signal to start the car by fuel burning. This gets the engine going, which produces heat. When the driver puts the car in drive and pushes the accelerator, the car starts moving.

B. Electrical, chemical, thermal, mechanical.

Turning the ignition switch on sends an electrical signal, which starts the chemical combustion of the fuel. This gets the engine going, which produces heat (thermal).
