1. A lamp has a power of 60 watts. It gives out light at a rate of 6 watts.

a) The amount of energy supplied to the lamp each second in joules is 60 J.
b) The amount of energy transferred usefully as light each second in joules is 6 J.
c) The amount of energy wasted each second in joules is 54 J.
d) The efficiency of the lamp is:
Efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ total energy input) x 100 %
Efficiency = (6 ÷ 60) x 100 %
Efficiency = 10 %
2. The following diagram is about a radio.

a) The useful energies are light and sound.
b) The wasted energy is heat.
c) The efficiency of the radio is:
Efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ total energy input) x 100 %
Efficiency = (350 ÷ 500) x 100 %
Efficiency = 70 %
