Question 10 • Physics

Which statement best describes a device that has a high energy efficiency?

Answer
A
It wastes a lot of energy.
B
Its ratio of energy absorbed to energy released is high.
C
Its ratio of energy input to energy output is high.
D
It wastes little energy.

Explanation

Energy efficiency is the fraction of input energy that is converted into useful output. A highly efficient device wastes only a small amount of energy, so “It wastes little energy” is the best description. A high ratio of energy input to output would instead mean the device is less efficient.
