Computers run off of DC power. There is an internal converter on desktops, and the large block on a laptop cord is the converter for them. On laptops, a battery runs things, batteries are DC power.

What else can I help you with?

Does a microwave use more energy than a toaster oven?

A toaster consumes more energy per second than a computer might, but toasters are used only occasionally; a computer could be left on for weeks or months at a time, meaning it uses more energy than a toaster.


Does a 100w light bulb use more electricity than a toaster?

It depends on the wattage of the toaster. If the toaster has a wattage greater than 100W, then it will use more electricity than a 100W light bulb. If the toaster has a wattage less than 100W, then the light bulb will use more electricity.


What wasteful energy from toaster?

Wasteful energy from a toaster can occur when the toaster is left plugged in when not in use, or when the toaster is set at a higher temperature than necessary for toasting. Additionally, toasters with inefficient insulation or heating elements may also contribute to wasteful energy consumption.

What is electrical energy converted to inside a toaster?

Electrical energy is converted to heat inside a toaster. The heating elements in the toaster use electrical energy to generate heat through resistance, which then toasts the bread.


If you use a toaster to make toast the toaster converts electrical energy into solar energy and heat energy heat energy only heat energy and light energy or light energy only?

It doesn't matter what you use the toaster for, or whether you are using it at all.When it's ON, it converts electrical energy into both heat and light, whether or notthere is any bread in it.


What is wasted energy in a toaster?

There is a lot of confusion on all matters relating to heat. The efficiency of a device is usually the fraction of consumed energy which goes into the function of the device. For an engine, this is straight-forward. For a light bulb or a toaster, not so. For light emitting devices, in the wintertime when you are heating your house anyway, the answer is 100%. None of the energy is wasted; it just replaces some use of your electric heater. But what if you have a gas heater? Then the efficiency is relative. In the summertime, this is a much more important question. For a light bulb, you would look at light output (in Lumens) per energy input (in Watts). For a toaster, the answer is *completely* relative, rather than a fraction. The pertinent question is: How much energy does *this* toaster require to toast a piece of bread, compared to another toaster. I have not found much experimentation which answers that, even to compare toasters to toaster ovens. Toaster ovens may turn off during heating, so it's not simply a matter of maximum wattage. In general, the closer the heating element is to the surface of the bread, the higher the 'efficiency' of the toaster. On thin bread, bagel toasters are thus somewhat less efficient than smaller toasters are. Cheap toaster ovens are sometimes accused of making bread 'soggy', which is a result of the bread being heated by the air rather than directly by radiation from the heating elements.


What type of energy is traveling in a toaster?

Well, first of all, the energy is in use, therefore it is Kinetic. But, since this energy is in a coiled machine, like a toaster, the coils redirect the energy into something called thermoreductiandiant energy. Yes it is a mouthful, but I assure you it is correct.
