    Why is it important to know if energy is
    being used efficiently?

    Why is it important to know if energy is being used


    efficiently?
    Can you define the word efficiency?
    What is energy efficiency? LO’s

    Efficiency is a measure of how good a device is at


    changing energy from one form to another.

    All devices waste energy, so the efficiency of a device


    is never 100%.

    The more efficient a device


    is the less energy is
    wasted.
    An energy-efficient light bulb is more efficient
    than a filament bulb because it wastes less
    energy.
    It converts a greater proportion of the energy
    that it is supplied with into light energy and not
    heat.
    LO’s

    How is energy efficiency calculated?


    The energy efficiency of a device can be calculated using this formula:

    useful output energy


    energy efficiency =
    total input energy
     Useful energy is measured in joules (J).

     Total energy is measured in joules (J).

     Energy efficiency does not have any units.


    It is a number between 0 and 1 which can be converted into a
    percentage by multiplying by 100.
    LO’s

    The energy efficiency of a device or system can be


    calculated using the equation: x 100

    Energy Efficiency (%) = useful energy output


    total energy input
    WORKED EXAMPLE:
    For every 100 J of energy supplied to a motor,
    80 J of the energy transferred is useful.
    Calculate the efficiency of the motor.
    TASK LO’s

    Calculate the efficiency of a bulb


    This filament bulb is supplied with 100 J of
    electrical energy, which it converts to 45 J of
    light energy.
    a) How much energy Wasted energy = Total – Useful
    is wasted? 55 J = 100 J – 45 J
    = 55 J
    b) In what form is the
    energy wasted?heat Efficiency = Useful
    Total
    c) What is the efficiency = 45 J
    of the bulb? 0.45 or 45% 100 J
    = 0.45 or 45%
    TASK LO’s

    Calculate the efficiency of a radio


    This radio is supplied with 300 J of electrical
    energy which it converts to 96 J of sound
    energy.
    a) How much energy Wasted energy = Total – Useful
    is wasted? 204 J = 300 J – 96 J
    = 204 J
    b) In what form is the
    energy wasted?heat Efficiency = Useful
    Total
    c) What is the = 96 J
    efficiency of the 300J
    radio? 0.32 or 32% = 0.32 or 32%
    TASK LO’s

    Calculate the efficiency of a television


    This television converts 2 000 J of electrical energy into
    useful energy at an efficiency of 65%.

    a) What useful energy


    does a television
    produce?light and sound Efficiency = Useful
    Total
    Useful = Efficiency x Total
    b) How much useful
    = 0.65 x 2 000 J
    energy is produced?
    = 1 300 J
    1 300 J
    Sankey diagrams LO’s

    Show how energy is changed (or


    transformed) inside a device.

    Arrows that travel to the right show


    useful energy.

    Arrows that move downwards show


    wasted energy.
    Sankey diagrams LO’s

    Sankey diagrams are used to show energy


    transformations.

    An arrow to the right


    Inside the arrow shows the shows the USEFUL energy
    TOTAL INPUT energy output.
    Remember: there may be
    more than one arrow so
    you would need to add up
    all of the values

    An arrow pointing downwards


    The light energy arrow is 9
    shows the WASTE energy
    times smaller than the heat
    output.
    energy arrow. This is because
    Remember: there may be more
    10J is 9 times smaller than
    than one arrow so you would
    90J. This means the Sankey
    need to add up all of the values
    diagram is to scale.
