Efficiency — practice question

Fig. 9.1 illustrates how energy is converted in a mobile phone.
(a(i))[1]

State the energy form stored in the battery.

(a(ii))[1]

State the useful output energy form from the battery.

(a(iii))[2]

State two useful output energy forms from the mobile phone.

(b)[2]

(c(i))[3]

Calculate the thermal energy needed to increase the battery temperature by $5.0\,^\circ\text{C}$.

(c(ii))[2]

State what efficiency means.

(c(iii))[2]

Calculate the efficiency of the battery.

(c(iv))[2]

Suggest and explain one reason why the efficiency calculated in (iii) is greater than the battery's actual efficiency.
