Overview

This book explains where energy goes inside your electronic devices. It follows the path of electricity from the wall socket to the battery and through all the components. You will learn the basic rule that energy cannot disappear; it only changes form. This means all electrical energy entering a device must become either useful work or wasted heat. The book breaks down complex ideas into simple parts. It starts by explaining voltage, current, and power in easy-to-understand language, comparing them to water flowing through a pipe. You will discover that resistance is the main enemy of efficiency, acting like friction that turns energy into heat in every wire and component. Practical examples show this process in action. You will see how a light bulb, a phone processor, and a laptop charger all waste energy as heat. The book teaches you how to trace energy flow and calculate losses using a simple balance sheet, showing what percentage of power is used for its purpose and what percent is lost. Key topics include why batteries drain faster during certain activities and why devices get hot. It covers how heat affects performance, causing phones and computers to slow down to prevent damage. The book also explains the purpose of cooling systems, from simple heat sinks to complex fans, and how they manage thermal energy. Written in a clear, conversational style, this guide is for anyone curious about how their gadgets really work. It connects everyday experiences, like a warm phone or a humming laptop, to the fundamental laws of physics. You will gain a new understanding of the trade-offs between battery life, device speed, and heat, helping you make smarter choices about the technology you use every day.
