Answer:

Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another. For example, when electricity moves from a wall plug, through a charger, to a battery.

Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another – like in a hydroelectric dam that transforms the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy.

While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change ­– this is called energy conservation.
