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

Responses

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

Fluorescent 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.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) are more efficient because they convert a higher percentage of electrical energy into visible light compared to incandescent bulbs, which emit a significant amount of energy as heat.
