Answer:

Heating Fan is 75.33% efficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is mentioned that the given fan is a HEATING FAN, it means the it is used for provided heat (thermal energy) to the surrounding. Hence, its efficiency depends upon how much heat/thermal energy is provides.

We can state that.

Total Energy provided = 150 J

Useful Energy = 113 J

Wasted Energy = 37 J

The efficiency of the heating fan can be given by following formula:

Efficiency = ( Useful Energy / Total Energy ) × 100

Efficiency = ( 113 J / 150 J) × 100

Efficiency = (0.7533)× 100

Efficiency = 75.33%
