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

The correct response is:
Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.
Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs because they convert a larger portion of electrical energy into visible light rather than heat. Incandescent bulbs waste a significant amount of energy as heat, which is why they are less efficient. Thus, CFLs can provide the same amount of light (lumens) while using less electrical energy (watts).
