A circuit in a home provides power to a light fixture. The homeowners want to use a compact fluorescent bulb instead of an incandescent bulb. Compact fluorescent bulbs can produce as much light as incandescent bulbs but with less energy. How is this possible?
A- Energy is destroyed when it passes through an incandescent bulb.
B- fluorescent bulbs have been designed to put out more energy than they can receive.
C- incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy to including heat.
D- Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy to including heat.
D- Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy to including heat.
This is possible because fluorescent bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs produce a significant amount of heat in addition to light, while fluorescent bulbs produce less heat and more light for the same amount of energy used. This makes fluorescent bulbs a more efficient choice for lighting.
