How can efficiency be calculated?

useful power/energy output/ total power or energy input

7
New cards

State the principle of conservation of energy

energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred between different stores and objects

Why are energy transfers in the real world never 100% efficient?

work done against resistive forces such as friction and air resistance means that some energy is always transferred to the thermal energy stores of an object and its surroundings
