If the efficiency of a machine is to be high, what should be low __________?

Correct answer: B. Losses

  • A. Input power
  • B. Losses
  • C. True component of power
  • D. kWh consumed
  • E. Ratio of output to input

Explanation

Efficiency is output power divided by input power, so reducing losses allows a larger fraction of the input to appear as useful output. High input power or energy consumption alone does not guarantee high efficiency.
