APPRECIATING THE IMPORTANCE OF MAXIMIZING THE EFFICIENCY OF DEVICES

A. Fill in the box with the correct terms. Device Bulb Petrol engine Electric fan Battery Conversion of energy Electrical Chemical Electrical Chemical Heat + Light Kinetic Kinetic Electrical Loss of energy Heat Heat and sound Heat Heat Loss of energy due to Resistance Friction in engine Resistance in coil + bearing Resistance in electrolyte

B. Underline the correct statement below. Statement Most of the energy in mechanical devices loss as heat and sound. A major cause of inefficiency in machines is due to friction. The output energy of devices always more then input energy. Maximizing the efficiency of devices makes the best use of the input energy and reduces energy wastage. Maximizing the efficiency of devices helps to conserve energy resources. When energy transformations take place, not all of energy is used to do useful work.
