The efficiency of a machine is found by dividing the amount of work done by a machine by the amount of energy used by a machine. The answer is then multiplied by 100 to give a percentage.
Efficiency = useful output power / input power
Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.
If the useful energy output of a system is equal to the energy input, the following calculation can be done:Efficiency = (Useful energy out) / (Energy In)Efficiency = 1Efficiency = 100%Therefore, the machine you describe does have an efficiency value, which is equal to 100%. Very few situations like this exist though, unfortunately.

High efficiency means that a large percentage of the energy used is converted to something useful (the desired output of the machine), and a low percentage is wasted.High efficiency means that a large percentage of the energy used is converted to something useful (the desired output of the machine), and a low percentage is wasted.High efficiency means that a large percentage of the energy used is converted to something useful (the desired output of the machine), and a low percentage is wasted.High efficiency means that a large percentage of the energy used is converted to something useful (the desired output of the machine), and a low percentage is wasted.
It depends on the efficiency of the machine. No machine is perfect and there are always losses and waste. Usually the losses are a greater percentage than the useful energy.
useful energy output divided by total energy output x 100 give answer as a percentage, which is why you multiplied by 100
efficiencyThe ratio of useful energy to total input energy is called efficiency. It refers to the percentage of the work input that is converted to work output.
The efficiency of a machine is found by dividing the amount of work done by a machine by the amount of energy used by a machine. The answer is then multiplied by 100 to give a percentage.
The relationship between input work and useful output work can be represented by efficiency. Efficiency is the ratio of useful output work to input work. A higher efficiency indicates that a larger proportion of the input work is converted into useful output work, while a lower efficiency suggests that more of the input work is wasted or converted into non-useful forms.
Work input is how much work you put into a machine and work output is the work done by the machine according to how much work you put into it. You will never get more work out of a machine than you put into it. The efficiency of a machine is how much useful work you got out of the machine compared to how much you put in (expressed in a percent). Efficiency = Useful Work Output ÷ Work Input
Efficiency = useful output power / input power
Efficiency = useful output power / input power
The percentage of energy converted into useful work is called the EFFICIENCY.
Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.
The efficiency is output divided by input.
