An ordinary light bulb has an efficiency of 5 percent; 100 J of electrical energy is transformed into 5 J of light energy and 95 J of heat energy.

You have just created a new light bulb. If your new light bulb produces 5 J of light at an efficiency of 40 percent, how many joules of electrical energy input does your light bulb require?

Responses

• .083 J

• .125 J

• 8.33 J

• 12.5 J
