Efficiency compares useful output energy or power with the total input, usually expressed as a percentage. The topic covers energy losses through friction, heating, resistance and sound, along with power ratings and Sankey diagrams. Efficiency is not the same as conservation of energy, because lost energy is transferred rather than destroyed.
