1.3.10 · D3 · Physics › Work, Energy & Power › Efficiency
Yeh Efficiency ka problem-drill child hai. Parent ne idea build kiya; yahan hum har tarah ke question dhundte hain jo efficiency puch sakti hai aur unme se ek-ek solve karte hain — including weird wale (zero output, 100% ideal, chained losses, "which is useful?" traps, aur ek exam twist). Kuch bhi naya assume nahi kiya: agar koi symbol aaya, toh woh parent mein earn hua tha ya yahan re-earn hoga.
Recall Woh do formulas jinpar hum rely karte hain (parent se)
Efficiency woh useful fraction hai jo andar gayi cheez ki hai:
η = E total in E useful out = P in P useful out = 1 − E in E wasted
Yahan E = energy joules mein (J ), P = power watts mein (W ), η (Greek letter "eta") = ek pure number 0 se 1 tak. Percentage ke liye 100 se multiply karo (\%).
Solve karne se pehle, chaliye har case class list karte hain jo ek question mein ho sakti hai. Neeche har worked example us cell ke saath tagged hai jise woh fill karta hai.

Worked example Ex 1 — Crane ek crate uthata hai
Ek crane 8000 J electrical energy consume karke 40 kg ke crate ko 15 m ki height tak lift karta hai. g = 10 m/s 2 lo. η dhundho.
Forecast: Guess karo — kya η 80% beat karega, ya kam aayega? (pause)
Step 1 — Useful output identify karo. Wanted kaam hai crate ko uthana , toh useful energy = Gravitational Potential Energy mein gain:
E useful = m g h = 40 × 10 × 15 = 6000 J .
Yeh step kyun? Efficiency ke numerator mein sirf woh energy aati hai jo intended task ne ki — yahan, lifting.
Step 2 — Definition apply karo.
η = E in E useful = 8000 6000 = 0.75 = 75%.
Yeh step kyun? Input poori supplied electrical energy hai; definition baaki kaam kar deti hai.
Verify: Waste = 8000 − 6000 = 2000 J (motor/cables mein heat). Check karo 1 − 2000/8000 = 0.75 ✓. Answer 80% se kam hai, toh forecast "lower" sahi nikla.
Figure dekho: burnt-orange bar poora 8000 J input hai; teal segment (75%) woh hai jo PE mein chali gayi; plum tail (25%) heat ke roop mein leak hui — parent ka "leaky bucket," scale pe drawn.
Worked example Ex 2 — Ceiling fan
Ek fan 60 W electrical power draw karta hai aur 27 W useful mechanical (air-moving) power deliver karta hai. η aur wasted power dhundho.
Forecast: Roughly aadha? Ek-chaurthai? Divide karne se pehle guess karo.
Step 1 — Powers ko directly divide karo. Dono watts mein hain, toh koi conversion nahi:
η = P in P useful = 60 27 = 0.45 = 45%.
Yeh step kyun? Work and Power se, P = E / t ; shared time t cancel ho jaata hai, toh efficiency powers par bhi same tarah kaam karti hai.
Step 2 — Wasted power.
P waste = P in − P useful = 60 − 27 = 33 W .
Yeh step kyun? Conservation input power ko useful + wasted mein split karta hai.
Verify: 27 + 33 = 60 ✓, aur 1 − 33/60 = 0.45 ✓.
Worked example Ex 3 — Input dhundho
Ek machine 60% efficient hai aur 300 J useful work produce karti hai. Usne kitni energy consume ki, aur kitni waste hui?
Forecast: 300 J se zyada andar — par kitna zyada? 400 ? 500 ?
Step 1 — Input ke liye definition rearrange karo. η = E useful / E in se:
E in = η E useful = 0.60 300 = 500 J .
Yeh step kyun? Hume output aur η pata hai par input nahi — toh E in ko subject banao. 1 se kam number se divide karna value badhata hai, jo "zyada andar gaya" se match karta hai.
Step 2 — Wasted energy.
E waste = E in − E useful = 500 − 300 = 200 J .
Yeh step kyun? Jo bhi useful nahi woh waste hai (heat, sound).
Verify: η = 300/500 = 0.60 ✓. Waste fraction 200/500 = 0.40 = 1 − η ✓.
Worked example Ex 4 — Ek locked wall ko push karna
Tum 250 J muscular energy lagakar ek aisi wall ko dhakelte ho jo nahi hilti . Is "lifting" attempt ki efficiency kya hai?
Forecast: Lagta hai effort ka kuch toh count hona chahiye — par kya hota hai?
Step 1 — Useful output. Useful work = force × distance jo load move karta hai. Wall ka displacement 0 hai, toh:
E useful = 0 J .
Yeh step kyun? Work ke liye motion chahiye (dekho Work and Power ). Koi displacement nahi ⇒ koi useful energy deliver nahi, chahe tum kitna bhi thak jao.
Step 2 — Efficiency.
η = 250 0 = 0 = 0%.
Yeh step kyun? Numerator mein zero hone se η = 0 force ho jaata hai — 0 -to-1 range ka lower limit.
Verify: Saare 250 J tumhare muscles mein heat ban gaye (Heat and Internal Energy ): waste = 250 − 0 = 250 J , aur 1 − 250/250 = 0 ✓. Yeh matrix ka degenerate floor hai — efficiency ka minimum.
Worked example Ex 5 — Frictionless dream
Ek frictionless, resistance-free ramp system 2 kg mass ko 3 m uthata hai aur exactly m g h input use karta hai. η kya hai? Phir: ek real version 12 J Friction mein lose karta hai. Naya η ?
Forecast: Ideal case — kya η exactly 100% hit karega, ya sirf approach karega?
Step 1 — Ideal output = input. Koi loss nahi, toh har input joule PE ban jaata hai:
E useful = m g h = 2 × 10 × 3 = 60 J , E in = 60 J .
η ideal = 60 60 = 1 = 100%.
Yeh step kyun? η = 1 theoretical ceiling hai — sirf tab reachable jab E wasted = 0 . Yeh ek limit hai, koi real machine nahi.
Step 2 — Real friction add karo. Ab input ko PE aur 12 J friction loss dono cover karne padte hain:
E in = 60 + 12 = 72 J , η = 72 60 = 0.8 3 ≈ 83.3%.
Yeh step kyun? Friction dikhata hai kyun real η < 1 : wohi useful 60 J deliver karne ke liye extra input chahiye.
Verify: 60/72 = 5/6 ≈ 0.8333 ✓, aur 1 − 12/72 = 1 − 1/6 = 5/6 ✓. Ceiling (100% ) aur ek realistic value dono confirm ho gayi.
Worked example Ex 6 — Generator phir motor
Ek diesel generator 35% efficient hai. Uska electrical output ek motor ko feed karta hai jo 80% efficient hai. 10 000 J diesel energy andar dene par overall efficiency dhundho.
Forecast: Kya overall η chote stage (35% ) se upar ya neeche hoga?
Step 1 — Stage efficiencies multiply karo. Motor ka input hi generator ka output hai:
η total = η 1 × η 2 = 0.35 × 0.80 = 0.28 = 28%.
Yeh step kyun? Fractions ke fractions multiply hote hain — stage one se jo 35% bacha uska 80% .
Step 2 — Joules trace karo confirm karne ke liye.
10 000 × 0.35 3500 J × 0.80 2800 J useful .
η total = 10 000 2800 = 0.28 ✓
Yeh step kyun? Actual energy follow karna multiply rule prove karta hai aur yeh bhi ki result (28% ) sabse chhote stage se bhi neeche hai (35% ).
Verify: 0.35 × 0.80 = 0.28 aur 2800/10000 = 0.28 ✓. Forecast "35% se neeche" sahi.
Worked example Ex 7 — Light bulb
Ek filament bulb 100 W leta hai. Woh 90 W heat ke roop mein aur 10 W light ke roop mein emit karta hai. Ek lamp ke roop mein, uski efficiency kya hai?
Forecast: Tempting hai kehna "100 W out = 100% ." Hai kya?
Step 1 — Intended purpose pick karo. Lamp ka wanted output light hai, heat nahi:
P useful = 10 W ( sirf light ) .
Yeh step kyun? Parent ka rule: sirf intended form count karta hai. Yahan heat waste hai (Heat and Internal Energy ), chahe woh real energy ho.
Step 2 — Efficiency.
η = 100 10 = 0.10 = 10%.
Yeh step kyun? Total output (100 W ) use karna galat 100% dega — classic trap.
Verify: Light + heat = 10 + 90 = 100 W (energy conserved), par useful fraction = 10/100 = 10% ✓.
100 W output karta hai toh 100% efficient hai."
Fix: Total output ≠ useful output. Puchho mujhe kya chahiye tha? — light. η = 10% , 100% nahi.
Worked example Ex 8 — Kettle paani ubaal raha hai
Ek kettle rated 2.0 kW hai aur 90 s chalta hai. Woh paani ko 150 kJ useful heat deliver karta hai. η dhundho.
Forecast: kW, seconds, kJ sab jumbled — kya yeh around 80% hoga?
Step 1 — Input energy matching units mein compute karo. Work and Power se, E = P × t :
E in = 2.0 kW × 90 s = 2000 W × 90 s = 180 000 J = 180 kJ .
Yeh step kyun? Divide karne se pehle input aur output ko same unit mein express karna zaroori hai — parent ki unit-mismatch warning. Yahan dono kJ ban jaate hain.
Step 2 — Efficiency.
η = E in E useful = 180 kJ 150 kJ = 0.8 3 ≈ 83.3%.
Yeh step kyun? Ab yeh ek clean pure ratio hai; kJ cancel ho jaate hain.
Verify: 150/180 = 5/6 ≈ 0.8333 ✓. Waste = 180 − 150 = 30 kJ (kettle body + steam heat karta hai), aur 1 − 30/180 = 5/6 ✓.
η ke liye nahi, height ke liye solve karo
Ek 70% efficient hoist 4200 J electrical energy use karke 10 kg load uthata hai. Woh load kitni height tak uthata hai? (g = 10 m/s 2 .)
Forecast: Tumhe η diya gaya hai par h pucha gaya hai — kya h "ideal" no-loss height se bada ya chhota hoga?
Step 1 — Pehle useful energy dhundho. Efficiency batati hai kitna input PE ban gaya:
E useful = η × E in = 0.70 × 4200 = 2940 J .
Yeh step kyun? Hoist sirf apna 70% input lifting energy ke roop mein deliver karta hai; baaki waste hai.
Step 2 — Useful energy ko height mein convert karo. Useful energy PE = m g h hai, toh:
h = m g E useful = 10 × 10 2940 = 100 2940 = 29.4 m .
Yeh step kyun? m g h = E useful rearrange karke h isolate hota hai. Efficiency ab calculation ke andar hai, answer nahi.
Verify: Backward check: PE gained = 10 × 10 × 29.4 = 2940 J ; η = 2940/4200 = 0.70 ✓. Ideal (100%) height hoti 4200/100 = 42 m , toh 29.4 m ka chhota hona sahi hai — losses height chura lete hain.
