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)

Question

Incandescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, Including heat.

Fluorescent bulbs have been designed to put out more energy than they receive

Fluorescent bulbs produce other forms of energy, too, including heat.

Energy is destroyed when it passes through an incandescent bulb

Answer 1

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

Incandescent bulbs convert a significant portion of electrical energy into heat, which is why they are less efficient at producing light compared to compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). CFLs are designed to use the electrical energy more effectively to produce light while generating less heat, hence they can produce the same amount of light as an incandescent bulb while using less energy.
