Answer 1

Answer:

the process by which energy becomes less available for doing what compare conversations of energy is called degradation of energy

Answer 2

Degradation of energy.

Explanation:

A part of the energy gets wasted when energy transformed from one form to another. This small portion of energy that is wasted could be due to heat from friction or it could be a non-productive form of energy. So the whole energy is not transformed. This is called degradation of energy.

Example:

1. When electrical appliance is run by electricity, part of electrical energy is wasted in the form of heat energy.
2. When we run a vehicle, portion of the energy obtained from fuel is used in running the vehicle, whole part of it is wasted in heat due to the moving parts of the machine.
