4.4 Efficiency

Efficiency = useful energy output/total energy input



Version 1

Efficiency = Useful Eout / Total Ein x 100

Useful Eout = Useful Energy out (J )
Total Ein = Total Energy In (J)
Efficiency = Efficiency ( % )

Version 2

Efficiency = Useful Eout / Total Ein

Useful Eout = Useful Energy out (J )
Total Ein = Total Energy In (J)
Efficiency = Efficiency (N/A; a pure number between 0 and 1)





4.2 describe energy transfers involving the following forms of energy:



thermal (heat), 
light, 
electrical, 
sound, 
kinetic, 
chemical potential
nuclear and potential (elastic and gravitational)

*Potential= stored energy
