Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & P_{\text {input }}=V i=100 \mathrm{~W} \\ & \eta=\frac{P_{\text {out }}}{P_{\text {input }}}=0.916\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & P_{\text {out }}=91.6 \mathrm{~W} \\ & \text { Loss }=100-91.6=8.4 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{s}=2 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}\)
