HELP!!

A particular electric car is supplied with 300 kJ of chemical energy by the battery. Of this, a total of 70.5 kJ of energy is wasted as heat.
Calculate the overall efficiency of the electric car.

Answer :

  • Supplied energy=300kJ
  • Wasted energy=70.5J

Used energy:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 300-70.5=229.5kJ[/tex]

We know

[tex]\boxed{\sf Efficiency=\dfrac{Used\:Energy}{Supplied\:Energy}\times 100}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Efficiency=\dfrac{229.5}{300}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Efficiency=\dfrac{229.5}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto Efficiency=76.5\%[/tex]
