Energy Efficiency and Conservation Concepts

The video tutorial introduces Sankey diagrams, which visually represent energy inputs and outputs, highlighting useful and wasteful energy. It explains how to calculate energy efficiency and provides examples using a TV set and car engines. The tutorial also covers the law of conservation of energy, emphasizing that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

What is the primary purpose of a Sankey diagram?

• To display the color spectrum of light

• To measure the temperature of a device

• To calculate the speed of a vehicle

• To show the flow of energy inputs and outputs

How can the efficiency of a device be calculated?

• By multiplying the total energy by the useful energy

• By dividing the useful energy by the total energy output

• By adding the input and output energies

• By subtracting the wasted energy from the total energy

What percentage of energy from the Sun reaches us, as mentioned in the video?

• 10%

• 20%

• 30%

• 40%

In the example of a TV set, how much energy is used for light and sound?

• 50 joules

• 450 joules

• 500 joules

• 100 joules

What is the efficiency of the TV set described in the video?

• 0.9

• 0.7

• 1.0

• 0.5

In the TV set example, how much energy is wasted as heat?

• 150 joules

• 200 joules

• 100 joules

• 50 joules

How much energy is wasted as heat in the car engine example?

• 20 joules

• 100 joules

• 50 joules

• 80 joules

What is the efficiency of the car engine as described in the video?

• 0.6

• 0.7

• 0.9

• 0.8

According to the law of conservation of energy, what happens to wasted energy?

• It disappears

• It is transformed into another form

• It is stored for later use

• It is destroyed

What is the main takeaway regarding energy from the conclusion of the video?

• Energy can be created and destroyed

• Wasted energy is lost forever

• Energy can neither be created nor destroyed

• Energy is always useful
