Efficiency — practice question

Which equation is used to calculate the efficiency of an energy transfer?

  • A$\text{efficiency} = \dfrac{\text{useful energy output}}{\text{total energy input}}$
  • B$\text{efficiency} = \dfrac{\text{total energy input}}{\text{useful energy output}}$
  • C$\text{efficiency} = \dfrac{\text{energy converted to the required form}}{\text{total power input}}$
  • D$\text{efficiency} = (\text{energy converted to the required form}) \times (\text{total energy input})$
