Q8. Two light bulbs receive 20J of energy every second. Bulb A transfers 18J of energy by
light every second, and bulb B transfers 4J by light every second. Which bulb is more
efficient? Explain why. /3
Bulb A is the most efficient because it only wastes 2J of energy every second, compared with wasting
16J energy.
