Passive voice is useful when the action is more important than the doer, or when the doer is unknown, obvious, or unimportant. For example, "The window was broken" is common when we don't know who broke it. In academic or scientific writing, passive voice is sometimes used to maintain objectivity by focusing on the action or result rather than the researcher or experimenter. Remember that only transitive verbs (verbs that take an object) can be easily converted into the passive voice.
