Teacher Feedback:

Group 1
1) A student has a battery-powered torch. When the lamp in the torch is lit for 10 s, 9 J of
energy is transferred in a useful way and 61 J is wasted. Complete the table to show the
amount of each form of energy linked with this torch in 10 s.
2) A student uses a solar-powered battery charger to charge some batteries.

solar panel on the battery charger

(a) Use words from the box to complete the following sentences.

(i) The source of energy for the battery charger is ………………………….

(ii) Energy is stored in the batteries as ……………………. energy.


(b) The diagram shows the energy transferred by the battery charger in one second.

Calculate the amount of wasted energy


Group 2

3) This photograph shows a fan.

The blades of the fan are turned by an electric motor.

In one second, the motor gets 200 J of electrical energy from the mains supply. Only 180
J of this energy is used to turn the blades of the fan.

The rest of the energy is wasted.

(i) Calculate how much of the 200 J of energy is wasted

wasted energy =

(ii) State what happens to the wasted energy.


4) A wind generator is used as the source of energy for a remote farmhouse.

(a) Complete the flow chart to show the energy transfers that take place from the wind
to light a lamp

(b) A student produced a diagram to show energy changes in a lamp.

Calculate the amount of heat energy produced by the lamp.


Group 3

5) The ball bounces several times.

Figure shows how the height of the ball above the floor changes with time.

(i) Use Figure to estimate the maximum height that the ball reaches after the first bounce.

height after first bounce=

(ii) Explain why the ball does not bounce back to its starting height of 2.05 m.
