> Appliances are energy converter.
> Main sources of energy in HK - electrical energy
> Internal energy produced is a kind of waste
> Efficiency = Useful output / total input where useful output is the desired output of the appliance.
> Overall efficiency vs end-use efficiency
> Overall efficiency = product of all efficiency of all processes

Possession
> Electric hot plate - low resistance wire, joule heating effect, conduction and radiation
> Induction cooker - high frequency alternating current, electromagnetic induction, joule heating of bottom plate, ferromagnetic material cookware
> Microwave oven - 12 cm wavelength microwaves sets water molecules into vibration, flip twice per period, metal grid has small hole traps the wave, stationary wave forms so turntable is used (why?)
> From microwave wavelength, we may find speed of light!
Possession
> Compare different cookers
> end-use efficiency
> cost-effectiveness - capital cost and operating cost
