utgångskraften
Utgångskraften is a Swedish term that translates to "output power" or "exit power" and is most commonly used in the context of mechanical systems, particularly those involving the transfer of energy. It refers to the amount of power that a machine, device, or system is capable of delivering to its intended load or application. This is distinct from input power, which is the power supplied to the system. The difference between input and output power is typically due to inefficiencies within the system, such as friction, heat loss, or electrical resistance, which are collectively accounted for by the system's efficiency.
In practical terms, utgångskraften determines how effectively a device can perform its intended function. For example,
