If a machine is never 100% efficient transforming energy into work because part of the energy is converted into heat, does it mean an electric heater is 100% efficient? @showerthoughts@lemmy.world

True, and also the transmission losses between the power plant and your outlets are also factors. I just treated the question like a high school physics one where you’re allowed to disregard air resistance. lol
