Through the efforts of Clausius and Kelvin, it is now known that the maximum work that can be done is the product of the Carnot efficiency and the heat absorbed at the hot reservoir:

Inefficiency comes not just from the fact that the device is always conducting to some extent ( that happens even with class AB, yet its efficiency can be close to that of class B ); it is that the standing current is roughly half the maximum output current ( although this can be less with square law output stage ), together with the problem that a large part of the power supply voltage is developed across the output device at low signal levels ( as with classes AB and B, but unlike output stages such as class D ).

This efficiency is usually derived using an ideal imaginary heat engine such as the Carnot heat engine, although other engines using different cycles can also attain maximum efficiency.
