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?(1 point) Responses Energy is destroyed when it passes through an incandescent bulb. Energy is destroyed when it passes through an incandescent bulb. Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat. Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat. Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat. Fluorescent bulbs have been designed to put out more energy than they receive.

The correct response is: Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs because they convert a higher percentage of the electrical energy they consume into visible light, rather than heat. Incandescent bulbs waste a significant amount of energy as heat, which is why they are less efficient compared to compact fluorescent bulbs.
