Question
Chapter 20.3, Problem 3RC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: It should be determined for the following lighting source is the most energy efficient.
Concept Introduction:
Light-emitting diodes:
The light emitting diode is a P-N junction diode. It is a special doped diode and mad e up of a special type of semiconductors. When the light emits in the forward biased, then it is called as a light emitting diode.
The light emitting diode is a two – led semiconductor light source.
Nick Holonyak invented the idea of light emitting diode, and he was working for the general electric company.
The LED is a special type of diode and they have similar electrical characteristic of a PN junction diode.
Hence the LED allows the flow of current in the forward direction and blocks the current in the reverse direction.
Nonrenewable sources are those for which the energy source is used and not concurrently replenished.
Renewable energy sources:
The sun energy is an example of renewable resources.
These include solar energy and energy derived from wind, biomass, and moving water likewise geothermal energy is a renewable resources.
