Energy Efficiency
Often used for batteries, heating systems, and fuel.
η = Eout / Ein
- Eout: Useful Energy (J)
- Ein: Total Energy Input (J)

Efficiency Calculator
Efficiency Calc
Measure system performance. Calculate Energy Efficiency or Power Efficiency.
Physics Formula
η = (Output / Input) × 100%
Understanding Efficiency
Efficiency ($\eta$) is a measure of how well a system converts input energy (or power) into useful output. No real machine is 100% efficient due to losses like friction and heat.
Power Efficiency
Common for engines, motors, and electrical devices.
η = Pout / Pin
- Pout: Useful Power (W, hp)
- Pin: Total Power Input (W, hp)
Efficiency Calculator Guide
Efficiency
Efficiency quantifies useful output relative to input, often expressed as a percentage.
Formula
η = (output / input) × 100%
Example
80 W output from 100 W input → η = 80%.
