Vp = Vclp/2

Vp = ______

Vrms = Vp x 0.7

Vrms = ______

Max power out = (Vrms)

/8

Max power out = ______

Since the battery power equals the battery voltage times the current taken from the battery; calculate the battery
power:

Battery power = Imax x V supply

Battery power = ______

Since the efficiency (N) is equal to the Max power out divided by the Battery power, we can now calculate the
efficiency of the audio amplifier.

N = Max power out/Battery power

N = _______

N in % = N x 100

N = _______%

Your calculated answer should be around 0.5 or 50%.
