The correct answer is electricity → light.
1 of 5
'Wasted energy' becomes less useful because:
It becomes increasingly spread out.
2 of 5
Which equation can be used to calculate the efficiency of an energy transfer?
efficiency = useful energy out ÷ total energy in
3 of 5
In a certain device, 25% of the energy is usefully transferred. The energy efficiency of this device is:
25%
4 of 5
A coal-fired power station is 40% efficient. This means that:
40% of the chemical energy stored in coal is transferred to electrical energy.
