Because all the electrical energy supplied to the heater is emitted as heat. There is no other way for the energy to escape.
They can never reach that level of efficiency.
All the power absorbed by the heating element and the connecting wire is converted into heat, leading to the 100% efficiency figure.
You could have an electric motor driving a reduction gearbox, for example. The efficiencies of both might be considered individually, or as a whole. As a whole is easier. (Work out/ work in) x 100 = efficiency%. Or, (power out/ power in) x 100 = efficiency%. Or, (force out/ force in) x100 = efficiency%. It depends on what you have to work with, what you use. If you did need to calculate electrical and mechanical efficiencies separately because of different units, the final overall efficiency will be (total of the percentages) / (number of percentages).
Assuming 100% efficiency (not possible), ~293 Hrs.
Brightness is measured in lumens so the bulb has a brightness of 100 lumens. The electrical power the bulb uses is measured in watts. The efficiency of a bulb is expressed in the number of lumens produced per watt of electric power.

The electric space heater. It's the only common machine that's 100% efficient.
100 % efficiency, and the beginning of perpetual motion. OR you have an electric heater - and all loses are what you want.
Efficient, yes. But a poor choice for a heater. It's just a marketing gimmick. Every electric heater is nearly 100 percent efficient. Efficiency is a term not understood by many. Energy efficiency - useful work per quantity of energy. In other words, What is the job of an electric heater? To make heat. How much of the electricity fed to the heater is turned into heat? All of it. That makes it 100 percent efficient. In contrast an incandescent light bulb is only about 5 percent efficient, only 5% of the electricity fed to it is converted to light the other 95% is converted to heat.
It is difficult to believe that anything has a 100% efficiency rating, even an electric heater. Electricity is very good at producing heat. Any loss of efficiency would be in how much heat is lost to the surrounding equipment and building structure in the immediate vicinity of the heater, which may be in the basement, as opposed to heating the air in living or working areas which is probably what you want. Electricity is very expensive when compared to other forms of heat, such as natural gas.
They can never reach that level of efficiency.
70% efficient Take: Useful work out --------------------- X 100 = efficiency Work in
power in equals power output plus power loss so input power for this question is 100 kw now use efficiency formula 100/80 times 100 to get 80% efficient
It is maximum at about 75% to 100% of the motor rated load. Efficiency is maximum at unity power factor , when R=X and when variable losses Is equal to constant losses at rated load.
Most electric motors perform from 50 percent to 100 percent of their rated load. Most appliances have a maximum efficiency load at 75 percent, which may drop considerably to about less than 50 percent depending on the individual motor.
An electric heater ( the only known 100% efficient device ).
