Efficiency η = useful work output / total work input = useful power output / total power input, since power = work/time. Both definitions are equivalent for steady operation. Efficiency is always < 1 (or
Explanation:
A vector quantity possesses both magnitude and a specific spatial direction, and it must obey the laws of vector addition. Electric field intensity is a vector (force per unit charge, having the direction of the force). Electric current has a direction in circuits but adds algebraically like a scalar (violating vector addition). Charge and potential are standard scalars.
