What are examples of dissipated energy?

Answer 1

One example of dissipated energy is when using a light bulb. This is when elctrical energy is converted to light and heat energy. However, the only useful energy here is light energy as light bulbs do not need heat to function. Therefore, when you touch a light bulb it is hot and this is the dissipated energy as it is wasted and not needed.The energy dissipated is heat. In any example of transferring energy there is always dissipated energy and other examples are when cars are used. The energy is converted to kinetic energy but is also converted to sound energy which, in this example, is the dissipated enrgy.

Answer 2

Examples of dissipated energy include heat generated during frictional contact between surfaces, sound produced by mechanical oscillations, and light emitted by incandescent light bulbs due to resistance in the filament. These forms of energy are usually unwanted and represent loss in a system's efficiency.
