Chapter 24, Problem 19A

Give at least two examples to distinguish between organized energy and disorganized energy.

To determine

Two examples to distinguish between organized energy and disorganized energy.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The capacity to do work is called energy.  In physical science, the study of energy is known as thermodynamics.

Organised energy refers to a type of energy which can be stored and be activated later. Disorganized energy refers to a type of energy in motion. In all the processes occurring naturally, some of organised energy is converted to disorganized energy

The energy stored in a battery is an organized energy. When the battery is attached in a circuit, electricity flows, the resistor heats up. The energy which is dissipated is the disorganised energy. Another example is when the brakes are applied in a car to make it stop. Some of the energy is dissipated which is the disorganized energy.
