Solar-powered cars use energy from the Sun to work. A panel on the car absorbs light energy from the Sun, which then generates an electric current. This electric current, in turn, allows the car to move. Which shows the correct order of energy transformations that take place in a solar-powered car?

First, the source of the energy is the sun. So, the energy that is being taken in is light energy (or solar energy). This energy is converted to electrical energy and lastly the movement that is manifested in the car is the mechanical energy.
