Regardless of the method used to generate electrical energy, the amount of energy provided by the

source is always greater than the amount of electrical energy produced. Explain why there is a

difference between the amount of energy provided by the source and the amount of electrical energy

produced.

Some of the energy is converted into heat. This is the main reason why electrical material gets hot when connected to a source. Therefore, your initial energy does not equal final energy. This does not violated energy conservation law because the energy is being converted so it is never lost.
