Question 1

What is the formula for power efficiency?

η = (P_out / P_in) * 100%
η = (P_in / P_out) * 100%
η = (1 - P_out / P_in) * 100%

💡 Hint: Think about what efficiency means in terms of input and output.

Question 2

True or False: Higher power efficiency always means better performance in amplifiers.

True
False
