Question

A 100-w light bulb is about 16% efficient. how many joules of heat energy are siddipated by the bulb each second

Answer 1

84 Joules are wasted per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

An efficiency of 16% means 84% is wasted as heat energy.

Therefore;

For a 100W bulb;

Heat wasted = 84/100 × 100 W

= 84 W

Therefore;

84 W or 84 joules are wasted as heat per second
