Question

An oven draws 25A of current from a 240V supply, in a house. In Ontario, consider the rate of electricity to be $0.15/kWh. (15 cents/kWh)
a. determine the power of the oven
b. If the oven runs for an hour a day for a 30-day period, how much electrical energy does it use? (In kWh)
c.what is the cost of operating the oven for the 30-day period?

Answer 1

Answer:

Most electric ovens draw between 2,000 and 5,000 watts, with the average electric stove wattage coming in at around 3,000 watts. So how much energy does an electric stove use per hour? Assuming an electricity rate of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), a 3000-watt oven will cost you about 36 cents per hour at high heat.
