Question

Explain in one sentence why this equation happens to be wrong. 100 Joules of electricity= Tablet= 20 joules of sound and 60 joules of light.

A) The equation violates the law of conservation of energy.
B) The equation misrepresents energy conversion processes.
C) The equation accurately represents energy transformations.
D) The equation is incomplete and lacks context.

Answer 1

The equation is incorrect because it violates the law of conservation of energy by not accounting for all the energy transformed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation '100 Joules of electricity = Tablet = 20 joules of sound and 60 joules of light' is wrong because it violates the law of conservation of energy. According to this law, energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system but can only be transformed from one form to another. In this equation, there is a discrepancy of 20 joules, since the total energy output (20 joules of sound plus 60 joules of light) only accounts for 80 joules, not accounting for the remaining energy that was initially in electrical form.
