Question Answer
Energy can never be __________ or __________, it can only be ______________ from one _____ to another. Energy can never be CREATED or DESTROYED, it can only be TRANSFERRED from one FORM to another.
Energy can only be used when it is transferred from one form to another. This is called ______. Energy can only be used when it is transferred from one form to another. This is called WORK.
When work is done some of the energy is transferred into __________ forms, while some of the energy will be transferred into _________ forms. When work is done some of the energy is transferred into USEFUL forms, while some of the energy will be transferred into WASTE forms.
A light bulb is supplied with a total of 150J of electrical energy. The bulb gives off 60J of light energy. Calculate the percentage efficiency of the bulb using the equation: Percentage efficiency = (60 ÷ 150) x 100 Percentage efficiency = 40%
How much energy does a 150W light bulb transfer in: a) three seconds b) one minute The POWER of an electrical appliance tells us how much electricity it transfers in one second. Power is measured in Watts (W). 1 Watt = 1 Joule of electrical energy transferred per second. 1 W = 1 J/s a) energy transfer = power x time energy transfer = 150 x 3 energy transfer = 450J b) a) energy transfer = power x time energy transfer = 150 x 60 energy transfer = 9,000J
A 2,500 W electric heater is switched on for 4 hours. Calculate the energy used in that time and the cost of using the appliance if 1 unit costs 9 pence. E = P × t where: E is the energy transferred in kilowatt hours, kWh P is the power in kW t is the time in hours. Power = 2,500 W = 2.5 kW Energy used = 2.5 × 4 = 10 kWh Cost = 10 × 9 = 90 pence
A 200W TV is used for an average of 3 hours each day. Calculate how much the TV costs to run per week. Cost of 1 unit = 10 pence. E = P × t where: E is the energy transferred in kilowatt hours, kWh P is the power in kW t is the time in hours. Power = 200W = 0.2kW Energy used = 0.2 × (3 x 7) = 4.2 kWh Cost = 4.2 × 10 = 42 pence
