Does a radio at low volume use less energy than at high volume?

Television uses more electricity. Remember that inside your TV is a "radio" - for the sound. You have to power up both the audio circuits (demodulators, amplifiers, etc.) and the video circuits in a TV.

∙ 15y agoYes, but only a tiny bit more. It takes energy to move the speaker cone, so raising the volume does use more energy. I would be surprised if a higher volume level added more than a penny or two to your monthly electric bill.

∙ 14y agoYes, It uses more energy to use it at high volume then if you were using it on low
If you have a car and a very large open area and maybe a few car batteries time the car on cranked volume for 1st batterie. Next use the next of the batteries and use low volume. (the high volume is going to "die" first)

What type of radio receiver do not respond to static interference?
FM radio is inherently less sensitive to natural noise ... not immunebut significantly less sensitive ... than AM radio is.
When radio is turned on electrical current flows through it what main type of energy is produced by the radio?
The electric power supplied to a radio is used to produce two types of energy: heat and sound. The sound is the useful part, and work is always continuing to find ways of producing less heat, because it only uses up electric power, and there are much better ways to keep our hands warm.
What tremendous blasts of energy from the sun's atmosphere can affect radio transmissions and weather conditions on earth?
Solar "Flares" or "Solar Winds"
Do radio waves disturb matter?
Radio waves will disturb matter which is more or less on the order of magnitude of the wavelength of the waves.
What are dangers of ultraviolent radio waves?
Ultraviolent radio waves often break your radio; they have such high energy levels, they simply ionize the components, similar to Gamma. Jokes aside, Ultraviolet light isn't a radio wave (I think), as it is on the other side of the spectrum (assuming "visible" is the centre). UV light is mainly emitted from the Sun, and can cause sunburn if you are exposed to it for too long. Other sources include arc welders, which can cause eye problems if used for extended periods of time. Ultraviolet waves are ionizing; they "break" cells. They are, in effect, a far weaker form of Gamma rays, which are well known for their lethal properties. They are dangerous because they have such a high energy level, their frequency is massive, and so they can seriously damage organic material. However, as their frequency is high, their wavelength is low, so they can travel very short distances. The same is true for UV light. It can only travel short distances (albeit longer than Gamma), and is harmful (although far less, thankfully). Hope this helps, Hnefatl
What must a pianist do to very the volume of his playing?
A pianist increases the volume by putting more energy into the keys... i.e. playing harder. Volume is lowered by playing with less force and putting less energy into the keys and ultimately the strings.
If Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves What else is true about radio waves?
If the wavelength is longer, then the frequency is lower and the energy is less.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has less energy than an infrared wave?
Waves with lower frequency: for example radio waves.
What At low temperatures and pressure how does the volume of a real gas compare with the volume of an ideal gas under the same conditions?
It is less
Which had the lower energy quanta x rays or gamma rays?
Quanta of X-ray carry less energy than gamma-ray quanta.
What does it mean if the activation energy is high related to traveling?
If the activation energy elated to travelling is high, then a large amount of energy is required to start a chemical reaction. After the reaction is initiated, less energy is needed.
Does infrared high or low energy?
Infrared radiation has less energy (per photon) than visible light.
What are advantage of nuclear fuels?
High(est) energy yield,less polusion
Is it hot in the thermosphere?
It has a high temperature but it is not hot. Temperature (kinetic energy) and hot (thermal energy - a way of transferring energy between objects) are not the same thing. Temperature is the average velocity of particles, which in the thermosphere is quite high, but they are far less dense than in the troposphere, which means that they collide much less often and those fewer collision mean less energy transfer (less heat).
Why a photon of red light has less penetrative ability than a gamma ray photon?
I think it is because a photon has less energy that is why it has less ability than a gamma ray photon
What are the two forms of energy a radio uses?
Basically Electromagnetic waves but less powerful than microwaves and visible rays. Called radio waves their range of wavelengths are of the order of a few centi-metres to metres (atleast twice the length of ur receiver antenna)
Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?
From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.
