Efficiency

Power = energy transfer per second

Power = energy transferred / time taken

(Watts)                        (Joules)    (seconds)

 During a movement or change of state (etc.) energy is usually lost as heat energy to the surroundings

The energy inputted is therefore always higher than the useful energy taken out

Efficiency = (useful energy out/energy in) x 100 = %
