In any energy transformation, some energy is always lost as heat due to inefficiencies in the system, such as friction and resistance. This wasted energy is not able to be converted into useful work and is typically dispersed into the environment.

When you turn on a radio what type of energy transformation takes place?

electrical/chemical to sounds(useful energy) and heat(wasted energy)


What are the ways in which energy gets wasted or used in excess?

by leaving the light on.


What form does the wasted energy transformations usually take?

Wasted energy transformations typically result in heat, sound, or light being released into the environment. These forms of energy are usually not effectively utilized for productive purposes and are considered inefficiencies in the energy transformation process.


Why is the final amount of usable energy in an energy transformation less than the original amount?

The idea here is that part of the original energy is wasted - converted to an unusable type of energy.


What is the transformation of energy of flashlight?

The chemical energy stored in batteries gets transformed sets into electrical energy through the wires. This then gets transformed into light energy that you see.


Is lots of energy wasted on transforming it to electricity?

That depends what you mean with "it". The original energy, which is meant to be converted to electricity, can be in different forms - the amount of waste will depend on the specific transformation.


What makes an energy transformation inefficient?

Energy can get wasted through several means. One of the most obvious ones is friction. However, entropy also increases - and energy therefore gets wasted - in other ways; for example, when there is a heat transfer between two objects that are at different temperatures; when eddies are produced in a water current (or electrical current); when electrical current gets converted to heat in a resistance; and through several other means. Quite often, the intention of an energy transformation is to produce one type of energy (for example, light in a light-bulb); but additional (undesired) types of energy are produces as well, quite often heat.


What is the energy transformation in walking?

What energy transformation occurs in a windmill used to generate electricity?

kinetic energy (potential energy) which transfers to mechanical energy


Why does a saw become warm when it is used to cut a log of wood. State the energy transformation taking place?

Mechanical energy is wasted due to friction. The wasted energy is converted into heat.


What happens to wasted energy in a house?

Wasted energy in a house typically gets converted into heat. This heat can accumulate within the house, leading to increased energy bills and potential discomfort. It is important to implement energy efficiency measures to reduce wasted energy and improve overall energy management.


Where is the energy when the car has stopped?

Depends what energy you are talking about. Unused energy is still in the gasolene (chemical energy). The energy that was previously in the movement of the car gets wasted - meaning it gets converted into unusable heat energy (in the brakes, or through air resistance and friction with the road).
