It can only be transferred, stored or dissipated. 4 of 12 Dissipated When energy spreads out into the atmosphere. 5 of 12 Energy efficiency The percentage or ratio of useful energy transferred compared to total energy in a system. It is not the amount of useful energy. 6 of 12 Renewable energy resource The energy resource will not run out or can be produced as quickly as it is being used. 7 of 12 Non-renewable energy resource The energy resource is limited and will run out. It is being used up faster than it can be produced. 8 of 12 Power Equation Power = energy ÷ time 9 of 12 Efficiency Equation 1 - Energy Efficiency = useful energy out ÷ total energy in (x100) 10 of 12 Efficiency Equation 2 - Power Efficiency = useful power out ÷ total power in (x100) 11 of 12 Equations: ... 12 of 12
