1. A kettle uses 1200 J of electrical energy.

900 J of thermal energy is used to heat the water.
300 J of thermal energy is wasted and lost to heat the surroundings.
Draw a Sankey diagram to represent the energy transfer

i) How many joules does each square represent?

ii) Calculate the efficiency of the kettle. Show your working.

2. A toaster uses 1500J of electrical energy.

300 J is used to toast the bread.
i) How much energy is wasted and where does it go?

ii) Draw a Sankey diagram for the toaster.

iii) Calculate the efficiency of the toaster. Show your working.

3. A microwave transfers electrical energy into 400J of energy to cook

food.
It has an efficiency of 80%
i) How much electrical energy is used in total?
Show your working.

ii) Draw a Sankey diagram for the microwave.

4. A hairdryer is uses 1200J of electrical energy.

It usefully transfers 600J to dry hair.
500J of this useful energy is used to heat the air.
i) What other form of useful energy?

ii) How much energy is transferred for this?

iii) 100J is wasted as sound energy. What is the other form of wasted
energy and how much is wasted?

iv) Draw a Sankey diagram for the hairdryer.
