Efficiency

To calculate efficiency one must divide the power output by the power input.

Efficiency = Power Output / Power Input

Example: What is the efficiency of an appliance which takes 860 W while outputting 813 W?

Efficiency = Power Output / Power Input
Efficiency = 813 W / 860 W
Efficiency = 0.945 or 94.5 %
