Slide 7 - Video

What are the first two laws of thermodynamics?
  • 1) Energy cannot be created or destroyed

  • 2) Energy tends to spread out in the form of heath


Slide 8 - Slide

    Why is it impossible to create a perpetual motion machine?
    • You cannot get more energy out then you put in.

    • You loose energy in the form of heath.

      Slide 9 - Slide

      • Useful energy

      • wasted energy

      • Efficiency

      80 J/s of electrical energy.
      20 J/s of light energy
      A construction lamp
      60 J/s of thermal energy

      Slide 17 - Slide

      The efficiency of a construction lamp

      • A construction lamp uses 80 joules/second
      • 20 J/s is turned into useful energy

      • What is the efficiency of this construction lamp?
      • It has an efficiency of 25%
