A lightbulb usually won't use thermal energy, only electrical energy.

By conservation of energy, if 10% of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the remainder is wasted - basically as heat.

What is a unit of electrical power called?

A unit of electrical power is called a watt, symbolized by "W". It represents the rate at which electrical energy is consumed or produced by a device.


What is produced in the leaves of plants in addition to oxygen?

In addition to oxygen, plants produce glucose (sugar) during photosynthesis. This process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll in the leaves.


When is electrical energy produced?

Electrical energy is usually produced from movement - simply put, if a coil of wire is moved through a magnetic field, an electric current is produced. Electrical generators are based on this principle. Electrical energy can be produced through many types of chemical reactions, and through solar panels, (these sources of electricity don't require mechanical movement)


What percentage of electrical energy generated in the US is produced by fossil of nuclear fuels?

Approximately 61% of the electrical energy generated in the US is produced by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), while nuclear power accounts for about 20% of the total electricity generation.


What is electrical power and what is electrical energy how are they related?

Compare electrical "current" to a river of water-and any size from the smallest trickel to the largest river.Now comparitivly speaking static would be as a collected pool of water(electricity) that is doing nothing-being "static".Now if equating getting wet with getting "a shock" either way ,finger in the river-or finger in the pool you will get wet both ways-as long as your body is toching ground at the same time.

What kind of energy is produced by battery?

Batteries produce electrical energy through a chemical reaction that converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy. This electrical energy can then be used to power various devices.


What are two forms of energy when a light bulb converts 10 percent of electrical energy?

When a light bulb converts 10 percent of electrical energy, two forms of energy produced are light energy and heat energy. Since light bulbs are not 100% efficient, some of the electrical energy input is lost as heat energy.


Where is the energy form a light bulb produced?

in a power station, which usually converts chemical potential energy into electrical energy, which supplies potential difference and drives current.


What produces microwaves in a microwave oven?

Microwaves in a microwave oven are produced by a component called a magnetron, which converts electrical energy into electromagnetic waves that heat up food.

Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver


When a flashlight is on what does it convert to?

When a flashlight is on, it converts electrical energy from the batteries into light energy. The light is produced through the process of incandescence or the excitation of electrons in a light-emitting diode (LED) in the flashlight.


What technology does a microphone use?

A microphone is a device that converts mechanical pressure waves or sound in air into electrical voltage waves. Speaking into a microphone excites (moves) a diaphragm that is coupled to a device that creates an electrical voltage proportional to the produced sound pressure.


What is the name of the product that collects energy from footsteps?

The product that collects energy from footsteps is called a piezoelectric floor. It converts mechanical stress produced by footsteps into electrical energy that can be stored or used to power devices.


How sound is produced from electric current?

Sound is produced from electric current when the current flows through a transducer, such as a speaker or buzzer, which converts the electrical energy into mechanical vibrations. These vibrations create changes in air pressure, which our ears detect as sound waves. By controlling the frequency and intensity of the current, different sounds can be produced.


What does a rectifier on motorcycle do?

A rectifier on a motorcycle converts alternating current (AC) generated by the alternator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the electrical system. This ensures a steady supply of power to the motorcycle's electrical components.


How is a oven thermal energy?

An oven uses electrical energy to power a heating element, which then converts this electrical energy into thermal energy (heat) to cook food. The thermal energy produced by the oven is contained within the cooking chamber to raise the temperature inside for baking or roasting food.


How does A light bulb converts 10 percent of the electrical energy it uses into radiant energy. Make a hypothesis about the other form of energy produced.?

Based on the conservation of energy principle, the other form of energy produced by the light bulb would likely be heat energy. Since not all electrical energy is converted into radiant energy, the leftover energy would typically be dissipated as heat.
