5 Question Watt fluorescent lamp. Conversion efficiency is 20%. How much heat is produced in the room by the lamp? A. 20 watt B. 80 watt C. 100 watt D. None of the above Question 2. In your house, the ceiling fan consumes 100 watt electricity when it is running. The motor have a conversion efficiency of 50% How much heat is produced in the room by the fan? A. 200 watt B. 50 watt C. 100 watt D. 0 watt because a ceiling fan cools a room, does not heat it. 5
