"Shields at 10% one more hit and..." What?

How do force field work in many sci fi fictional universes? I remembered the last time I checked the strength of the electromagnetic field a.k.a force field is proportional to the power output from the engine, so how does applying additional kinetic energy to the shield affect the power output? It is analogous to saying an overcrowded maglev train can only be run at half its normal energy consumption, makes no senses at all. Seriously Scotty, did you break my ship... again?

I should clarify the force field in this case is being treated like a rigid structure, meaning it can break like any solid object, so don't go harassing my science officer!
