Cambridge Lower Secondary Complete Physics Student Book 11

The document discusses the efficiency of machines and devices, emphasizing the law of conservation of energy which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. It highlights the importance of minimizing wasted energy, particularly in light bulbs and other appliances, to improve efficiency and save money. Key points include the comparison of useful energy versus wasted energy and the effects of energy dissipation in various devices.

put in is wasted, then the machine is not very efficient. Most energy that is
wasted is dissipated.
