Answer 1

To calculate the percent efficiency using the formula you provided:

\[ \text{Percent Efficiency} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual MA}}{\text{Ideal MA}} \right) \times 100 \]

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Percent Efficiency} = \left( \frac{10 , \text{J}}{40 , \text{J}} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percent Efficiency} = \left( 0.25 \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percent Efficiency} = 25% \]

Thus, the correct response is:

25%
