17
Q

Mechanical work transfer

A

Force moving an object through a distance

18
Q

Electrical work transfer

A

Charges moving due to a potential difference

19
Q

Radiation transfer

A

Energy transferred as a wave e.g. light and infrared - light radiation and infrared radiation are emitted from the Sun

20
Q

The two types of energy flow diagrams

A

Transfer diagrams and Sankey diagrams

21
Q

Dissipation

A

When energy is wasted into the surroundings, e.g. electrical cables warming up

22
Q

How is energy dissipated in a mechanical system

A

When two surfaces robbed together

23
Q

How can you reduce friction

A

By using a lubricant so less heat is wasted

24
Q

How can you prevent dissipation in electrical context?

A

Use LED bulbs instead of filament lamps

25
What energy is dissipated for a radio or speaker?
The electrical work is transferred into useful soundwaves and infrared radiation dissipated
26
What is the useful energy and dissipated energy in a tumble dryer?
Electrical work transfers into useful energy and energy is dissipated by soundwaves
