Question

if a toaster oven uses 1000 J of electrical energy to produce 800 J of thermal energy, what is the percent efficiency of the toaster oven.

Answer 1

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

The thermal energy output by the oven is 800 J which is the useful energy that can be utilized for cooking.

The electrical energy input to the oven is 1000 J.

The efficiency of the oven =

(Useful energy output)/(Total energy input to the oven) x 100

`=(800)/(1000)* 100= 80\%`

Hence, the efficiency of the oven is 80%.
