What is the formula for efficency?
Total energy used/total energy produced
What happens to the electrical energy when it passes through a household device such as a blender or a toaster?
The electrical energy remains the same
What happen rest of energy in a light bulb whose efficency is so law?
Energy that is not released as light is released as heat and other EM band radiation.
Why does a tv get warm when it is on?
The same happens when just about any device is turned on. The reason is that part of the energy that is converted is wasted - and the waste energy usually becomes heat energy.
What is efficency?
It is the relative proportion or ratio of the Energy Input to a system to its output.
Your electricity meter seems stuck?
energy meter is a mechanic device. as every mechanic device it is subject to fatigue, and may fail. But generally, this is not such a bad news. In most cases, malfunction cause the energy meter to slow or get suck. what happens to the energy bill? you guessed it.
What happens to the energy in a circuit when the current passes through a component?
A: If there is resistance within the device it will cause to dissipate some of the energy as heat. The rest will continue
What is the device that converts mechanical energy to AC electrical energy?
The device which convert mechanical energy in to electrical energy is "Dynamo".
Can you achieve 100 percent efficency with a lever and fulcrum?
Not if you consider the energy expended to grip or engage the lever--this does account for a minimum amount of lost efficiency
What happens to matter when energy is added?
Matter heats up when energy is added. I could imagine that energy can carry different signatures beyond our device of measure that can make ultra subatomic variations to the affected matter.
What mechanical device physically prevents the transmission or release of energy?
energy-isolation device
What happens to the energy wasted by a device?
Many devices produce heat, that is unwanted. Its seems to dissapear but it is actually absorbed in the atmosphere. It can't be destroyed.
