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

Do those not end up as heat later down the line as well?
Yes, but magnetic flux causes radio waves and there isn’t a guarantee these will turn into heat in the space you are heating.
