Energy Conservation Principles Explained

The document discusses the conservation of energy, stating that energy in a system cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. It illustrates this with examples, such as a lamp and an oil-burning power station, highlighting how energy can be dissipated as thermal energy. The law of conservation of energy emphasizes that the total energy output will always be less than or equal to the total energy input due to energy dissipation.

Conservation of energy

*in physics a system is something that has been chosen to be studied,especially in terms of
energy changes .

*the total energy output can never be greater than the total energy input in any type of
system .this is because energy cannot be created.

*in the example of the lamp 90% of the input energy is converted to thermal energy we say
that it has been [Link] means this spreads out into the surroundings and
becomes less useful. The energy might be dissipated but it is not destroyed.

*the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot neither be created ,nor be
destroyed only its form can be changed.

Questions and answers


1) So a has a led ashlight that uses 18J of electricity energy.7J of the electrical energy is
wasted as thermal energy .So a says that 12j of the electrical energy is changed to light

2)In an oil burning power station,55% of the chemical energy in the oil is changed to thermal
energy and 10% is used in the power [Link] remainder is changed to electric energy
calculate the percentage of the chemical energy in that oil that is changed to electrical energy.
