Usually, much of the wasted energy takes the form of heat energy. However, part of the energy can also be in other forms, for example sound.
Heat energy is the most wasted form of energy.
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.
Energy converted into an undesirable form is wasted energy.
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.

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

It depends on the efficiency of the appliance. If an electric motor has an efficiency of 0.7, then for every 1000 megajoules, 30 megajoules will be wasted as useless heat or sound or other useless energy form.
Usually not; some energy is usually wasted. Although energy can't really be destroyed, part of the energy is converted to an unusable form.Usually not; some energy is usually wasted.

Most typically waste energy takes the form of heat.
heat energy and sound energy although the sound energy is the wasted energy
Usually some energy gets wasted, and converted into heat.
Some energy is converted to electromagnetic (heat) energy.Related Information:This can usually be considered wasted energy, since you can't convert all of the heat back into other energy forms.
