Is heat energy produced with the light energy in a torch?

Yes. The heat and light energy in a torch are separate. From the total energy input to the torch (chemical energy from batteries), Some is useful (the light energy) and some is wasted. (heat/thermal energy) The more efficient an appliance is ,the less energy out of the input energy is wasted. For example, an appliance may be 70% efficient. If it is supplied with 100J (joules) of energy, 70J will be useful and 30J will be wasted. Along with light energy, heat energy is also produced by a torch and is wasted. Heat energy is the most common form of wasted energy in appliances. Other appliances will waste energy in the form of heat, though it may not always be obvious.


What happens to wasted energy from a house?

It is wasted, and can no longer be used. Usually the energy will be in the form of heat energy, which is not concentrated enough to be of any use.


Most energy transformations produce what form of energy?

In most energy transformations, part of the energy is wasted. Much of the wasted energy is usually converted to heat.

When energy is converted from one form to another some is lost as what?

During respiration some energy is lost as heat. This best describes the second law of thermodynamics, which states that "Some useful energy is lost as heat whenever an energy transfer occurs".

Usually some energy gets wasted, and converted into heat.


Is friction a way to produce heat energy?

Yes. Whenever energy is wasted through friction, most of this wasted energy is converted to heat.
