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? @[email protected]

    Yes, but magnetic flux causes radio waves and there isn’t a guarantee these will turn into heat in the space you are heating.

      That’s an interesting point about radio emissions leaving the heated space.
