How can we represent energy transfers? All the energy transfers (useful and wasted) that are associated with a device can be represented by a Sankey diagram. A Sankey diagram uses arrows to represent all the output energies. The thickness of each arrow is proportional to the amount of energy involved at that stage.
How can we represent energy transfers? 100 J electrical energy (input) 90 J heat energy (wasted) 10 J light (output) Filament light bulb
Energy efficient light bulb How can we represent energy transfers? 20 J electrical energy is supplied to the bulb, 10 J light energy is output. Calculate the wasted energy output What form is it in? Copy and complete the diagram. Energy efficient light bulb
Kinetic and Potential Energy How will the skydivers kinetic energy change during the fall? How will the skydivers potential energy change during the fall? What is the relationship between the two forms of energy?
