Define the efficiency of an energy converter.

Efficiency = (output energy) divided by (input energy) .
It's always less than 1 .
Also, it's commonly expressed as a percent. To get the percent, just multiply the number by 100.

The efficiency of an energy converter indicates how effectively it transforms input energy into useful output energy, calculated as the output energy divided by the input energy. It is expressed as a fraction or percentage, illustrating energy losses inherent in any conversion process. For example, a converter with 75 Joules output from 100 Joules input has an efficiency of 75%.
