When we say that energy is lost in a resistor, it really means that electrical energy has bee transformed into other forms of energy. These other forms of energy do not easily get changed back into electrical energy.

What does it mean when you say that energy transformation are not '' efficient''?

When energy transformations are not efficient, it means that there is a significant amount of energy lost as waste during the process. This can result in lower overall productivity and increased costs due to the inefficient use of energy. Improving the efficiency of energy transformations can help conserve resources and reduce environmental impact.


Can energy be used up or can energy be lost?

Energy isn't "used up" but instead is converted into different forms like heat (thermal) and motion (kinetic) but when talking about an object we say the object has lost or gained energy.


Why is energy lost?

Energy is lost mainly due to inefficiencies in the system, such as friction, heat transfer, and air resistance. When energy is transferred from one form to another, some of it is converted into forms that are not useful for the intended purpose, resulting in energy loss. Additionally, energy may be lost due to leaks, mechanical losses, and other factors that reduce the overall efficiency of the system.


What is the difference between input energy and output energy?

Input energy is when. . .say. . .you eat fruits or vegetables, and you get energy from them. You BRING IN energy or get energy. Output energy in when. . .say. . .you go run a mile or 2, and you use energy. You are PUTTING OUT energy.


What does it mean to say a radio is not 100 percent efficient?

When a radio is not 100 percent efficient, it means that not all the electrical energy input is converted into useful radio frequency output. Some energy is lost as heat or in other non-useful forms, resulting in less effective performance and potential inefficiencies in power consumption.

When people say energy is lost what do they mean?

The energy in a closed system is constant, which is the principle of Conservation of Energy, but in machines the amount of useful energy coming out is less than the amount going in. This is explained by lost energy. In a petrol engine the lost energy comes out in the form of heat because the engine block is hot, which happens because of friction in the bearings but also because the gas in the cylinder has to be at a high temperature and pressure.
