Energy Output Effletency = Fray Tapat * 00% In every energy transformation there is always some amount of TEE (+nermal ) energy produced. Unless this ‘type of energy (a) is what is wanted, this is considered _Wa Sf@ ‘energy. For example, a battery transforms ical energy into electrical energy, but some thermal ‘waste’ energy is also generated, so the battery heats up. In this example, a comparison or ratio of the electrical energy to the chemical energy is called efficiency : Gi: Acertainiatt TG bulb consumes 2001 | 2.
