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.
